Comparing the campaigns.....of the two Clintons: Hillary is no Bill Clinton! [View All]

Just thought we'd have an interesting discussion with all the folks here who remember well 1992 and 1996, and how well Bill Clinton managed to overthrow an incumbent President who was out of touch, and how well he came back in 1996, after Newt's "contract with America" and losses of lots of Dem seats to Republicans in 1994 mid-terms. Bill was a master of pulling out a victory from the jaws of the Republicans.

Hillary? Not so much! She ran a 2000 campaign while still First Lady, had universal name recognition, and the sympathy of every voter in New York state for putting up with the likes of Bill's oval office shenanigans. She worked hard as a freshman Senator, and won good reviews for her hard work, (except for that IWR thingy, which she still has trouble explaining). She won a virtually uncontested contest for re-election to the Senate in 2006, and then, almost immediately, (well, within a year), decided being a mere Senator from one of the largest states in the nation was beneath her ultimate abilities. So, with all her family, friends, connections, money saved from Senate campaigns, and support of a large number of women who wanted to see a woman in the Oval Office, she began her Presidential campaign. And it's been all downhill from there!
