Clinton had the bad luck to have a
vast right wing conspiracy against him. If this sounds crazy to you are unfamiliar with the
Heritage Foundation, check out their highly financed opinion making machine including magazine articles and books tailored to their views(Spin Sisters; a book on how women in media are making women dissatisfied comes to mind but there are many more less openly ludicrous works) In the future I think this will be seen as the point when democracy jumped the tracks. The Republican party has become so self serving they can no longer have a dialogue, just endless talking points, the results of this endless self-protectionism?, it has become all-spin, all the time, perhaps to match the 24 hour news media.
I'm sorry but this post proves my point:

Ummm, anyone ever think about the possibility that there was a major announcement they were going to make but something happened at the last minute causing the timing (or the whole announcement) to be delayed (or fall apart)? Or perhaps the networks read into what was told to them a little too much about the planned speech? Or maybe even the person who told the media about it was just plain wrong? Nahh. Couldn't possibly be the case. I'm sure the only possible reason that this occurred is a plot that goes right up to the President to force the news media to cover a speech which, by your own account, said nothing new in the hope that the American people, hearing the same old stuff one more time, will give him such a tremendous boost in the polls that he will skip merrily to victory almost a full month from now in November. Yep, that's definitely it.
