“Historically, we should win,” Clinton said. “We might well win one or more houses.”"Might well" might be a good way to phrase it. But Clinton was only doing what he does best--hobnobbing with elites and keeping democrat hope alive using any means available.
Thing is, when you get down to brass tacks there are only so many issues to blast the repubs on. The economy is decent and we're fighting the GWoT much more vigorously than Clinton did. Democrats have no agenda for solving the border problem or social security whatsoever.
Therefore, Clinton continued to hammer the one issue they think they DO have--climate change. He repeated Gore's recent warning that we only have "a short time" to change things around, which presumably means electing democrats. But in the process he dropped another Clinton classic whopper:
He said climate change is a far more important issue than he thought when he was in office.Apparently he didn't have one single conversation with Al Gore during his entire presidency. Did he miss the Kyoto summit? Guess he was "tied up".
But oddly enough, the former prez appeared to wax truthful on the most pressing and serious topic:
Further, he said pulling out of Iraq would be a mistake.The dems have done everything but stick Lieberman's head on a pike for saying similar things, and they're not too happy with Hillary, either, some accusing her of being a DINO.
“Once you break the eggs, you have the responsibility to make an omelet,” he said. “It’d be an error to say we’ll leave by X date.”
But Slick's statement can be taken two ways. One is that he's trying to lay the foundation for his wife and her pro-war stance. Thing is, both Clintons could have easily backpeddled and joined the Murtha-Kerry-Dean anti-war bandwagon awhile back with very little media repurcussion. Maybe the reason they haven't is that both know the true extent of Saddam's involvement in the overall war on terror, and are patriotic enough not to politicize it.
