For those that they have to show to the world, they'll rely on the friendly MSM for cover. It will work. The polls will be essentially tied a week from now.

If Romney wins, he will have a very good chance of being reelected because incumbents tend to win unless the economy is a disaster, and the likelihood is that the economy will do better the next four years no matter who is president. Hillary has a better shot of being elected if Obama wins.

People like Bill Clinton are ultimately tiresome and we were pretty tired of Bubba by the time 2000 rolled around. Besides, all that blather about surpluses out as far as the eye could see would have been seen for the baloney it was (remember, there would be no blaming the next president for "squandering" Clinton's surplus). And there's little doubt in my mind that he would have bungled the response to 9-11 just as he bungled the response to the first WTC bombing and the embassy bombings and the USS Cole. The bit lip, teary eyes and castigation of "right-wing hate radio" that served him after the KC bombing wouldn't have cut it after 9-11. In a lot of ways, Clinton was remarkably gutless. And, yes, he was a serial groper of women.SukieTawdryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219517365750894110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-58126679844617866192012-09-02T17:35:08.513-05:002012-09-02T17:35:08.513-05:00"Had he been allowed to run in 2000, 2004, 20..."Had he been allowed to run in 2000, 2004, 2008.....he would have won easily."<br /><br />Soviet style revisionism. Clinton was never that popular. He won in 92 in a three-way race where he won by a plurality. 93 and 94 he gets lefty stupid and manages to lose both house of Congress. You can thank Newt for the 90's economy by not letting Bill and Hill muck things up. 96 he barely wins reelection against a tired old man, Dole and a crank, Perot.<br /><br />2000, the stock market crashed and the economy was going in to a recession and the supposed third Clinton term, what Al Gore was supposed to be, well the voters picked what the democrats labelled a drunk, stupid frat boy. So no that convicted perjurer and rapist would not have reelected in 2000, 2004 or 2008.<br /><br /><br />cubanbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746305669005611456noreply@blogger.com
