I started having some doubts...but continued to defend him until the end. He had the support to enact some real changes until the Republicans took over in 94. All that DLC third way crap shifted the publics notion of "what" was truly important. No wonder Gingrich could bullet point a contract with America.
Gore's choice of Lieberman was perhaps less a choice than payback to the DLC. Sorry, but in 2000 I never bought into Gore's populist rant with Lieberman at his side.
Hillary has voted one way, and ranted the other. Actions speak louder than placating words.
I suspect the Clark candidacy to be a direct result of Clinton deciding Dean was much to independant to tow the line. Frankly, I couldn't care less anymore what the Clintons say or do and I'm done caring. I want a real democrat back in the White House. We need an ideological shift to occurr.
