Host, I admire your style and I am more than a little surprised at the results.
/back on topic.
I am very conflicted about the Clinton presidency, but not for any of the attempts at character assassination listed in the OP. Bill saw the value of Perot's economic focus and ran with it once Perot quit. I don't think anyone would disagree that Clinton is a brilliant politician and skillfully opportunistic.
The triangulation is my primary objection to his presidency. He gave away too much for too little in return, imo, and simply perpetuated the Republican economic model. I see no evidence that Senator Clinton wouldn't continue with much of the same. To her credit, she has proven that she can work both sides of the aisle for consensus and that is a quality we need desparately in the next president. And, I truly have no idea of what she *stands* for, what line is she unwilling to cross. For that reason alone, I am uncomfortable with her, and I will vote for her if she is the party's nomination.
