In ‘96 we all knew Dole was dead, Newt was watching Clinton, and Clinton wasn't scary just slick (kinda’ missing him now, though *sigh*).
Did you see the rage at McCain's townhalls? Oh, brother, we will be turning out. I live in L.A. and can't wait to vote for Palin and against the little messiah.
We. Will. Turn Out.
Let’s be honest about Bill Clinton. Politically he was pretty moderate on a lot of stuff. Some NE Republicans are far more liberal. I am not defending the guy. I do not like him but I hope he cuts Obama’s b**ls off after Obama loses. The point is many people found Clinton accpetable going into his second term mainly because the stock market was so strong (manipulation again). I hated him but Dole was lackluster and Clinton hammered him from the start.
Obama is not Clinton in 1996. Like you said - Bill was slick but not totally frightening and Newt was watching Bill.
Moderate Dems and Repubs will fight wild dogs and bears to vote against Obama this year.
I expect ACORN may try some intimidation at some polls.
Right. Only 49% of the electorate showed for the 1996 election, and the lowest turnout in at least 80 years.
