but remember Bill Clinton came out of nowhere

Not really, he and his blushing bride (gag! rawwlf!) had been planing their assualt on the nation for decades. In his case since he went to "Boys Nation" during President Kennedy's administration. Circumstances of 1991/92 may have let them advance their timetable a bit, that's all.
