Craig...
Clinton got 43% in 1992 and 49% in 1996, not a majority in either case, and a pretty close thing in 1992.
I agree w/ your last statement, tho. As I frequently lament, the Dems love to cast invective at the GOP about how it's the party of special interests, but it is squarely in the pockets of the groups you mention,
as well as being beholden to large corporate and/or individual interests. Dem or Rep, you've got to play the corporate game; it's that the Dem's are so busy hypocritically keening about the Rep's ties to big money.

I know you're upset today, but you are especially irony proof. To claim that the GOP tried to instill "fear" and that it "didn't sell" and then to follow it up with the scare tactic the Dems used -- the draft -- is possibly your looniest moment... that I've seen. Yeah, fear doesn't sell, but it was the Dems peddling it this time 'round.

EDIT -- oh ... I thought Cool Chick was embarrassed that she'd believe that others were "stupid" just b/c they disagreed with her, and was making a cathartic confession. Guess not ... just another run-of-the-mill petty crack from the party of the Big Thinkers.
