I forgot to add this bit of information. It was Bob Dole who first phrased the term Bridge to the 21th century. I remember Dole saying this in one of his speeches. Shortly after, clinton, being the theif that he is, took the phrase for himself. I often wondered why Dole didn't make an issue of clinton stealing the phrase.

Oh, that's an easy one. Dole = classy guy.

Actually Dole said he wanted to be a bridge to the past in his acceptance speech and Clinton turned it around to use it against him. Even Clinton's signature manifesto was only a reaction to Republicans.
