IMO, 1/2 the population are ignorant of the protocol that takes place when an incoming President meets with the ex-Pres. and his cabinet. Before January, there are meetings to clue the new man in on what big issues are going on in the world. And these are not photo ops for either man. But at those meetings, the outgoing administration is obligated to inform the incoming just where the nation stands with regard to possible security breaches, foreign communiques, CIA info, etc. As much as I disliked Bill Clinton on a personal level, and even though there was bitter feelings following the 2000 election, I don't believe Clinton would deliberately misinform or "under-inform" his replacement.
I almost wonder if privately, in the voting booth, Slick Willie just might pull the lever for Dubya. I don't think him and Hillary really want Kerry to win, it will all but destroy her Presidential chances.
