LOL, oh OK
heh
The only minor thing I would quibble with around the edges is that I think his conservative successes are more important than his liberal dalliances - but I would not dismiss either.
And I would not argue that he failed to maximize the 94 election results and I was as disappointed as any over that. However - what caused that was a fear of the media and a fear of how he was viewed by the other side. He certainly seems to have gotten over that lately. I think that is why I took him off my “dead to me” list and put him back on the list of maybes.
And I can only assume that others have done the same thing for the same reasons. I don’t think anyone is ignoring his down side. He’s 68, done a lot, of good and not so good.
