Actually, I thought Quayle won, if not on formal debating points, then
by landing hits on the Democrats without a vigorour response.  The
"trust" issue was first brought up in force during that debate, and I
felt Gore should have gone after Quayle's throat there and then.  Perhaps
that issue would have been defused before the debate's national audience.
I personally didn't like sweating when the CNN poll went down to 1, and
I think that might have been prevented.  Oh, well, it's a moot point
anyway, because whatever strategic advantage Quayle created was not
sufficient.

Well, as a "non-traditional" college sophomore (I'm *ancient*!), I prefer
to comfort myself with the belief that the young people you reference in
#2 are just too damn stupid to know any better, and might, as their educa-   
tion progresses, learn to develop opinions, rather that adopting Mommy and
Daddy's.

Case in point:  the sophomore Limbot who runs the editorial page at our
school paper.  In a recent article, one of the few lately in which he
hasn't been quoting Mommy and Daddy and his Frat brothers' opinions
trashing President-elect Bill, he referred to the Native American
population of the US as "indigent."  I'm pretty sure (at least, I *hope*)
he meant "indigenous.  Sure, anybody's entitled to a mistake, but this
is only one example from a record that would make Dan himself proud.

You know that optimism I expressed in my first paragraph?

Scratch it.

I find it strange that Bob Dole can claim support from all the 
people voting for Perot. If Perot did not run his vote would most
likely been split. Bush would have had to taken 67% of these voters
to overtake Clinton. Basoed on the pllos this would not have happened
and Clinton would have still won with over 50%. Let's quit whining

Well Dan did spend some time in Arizona as a youngster. But the only
relationship between the two that I know of is that Goldwater considered
Quayle to be a terminal lightweight in the Senate, and his reaction
to learning that Bush had chosen Dan as his running mate in 1988 (as
he related it in a PBS interview) was on the order of "He picked WHO???"

I find it particularly sad that you people (no offense intended) think
everyone was voting *against* one person in the pack.  Could it be that people
voted FOR candidates because they thought one was going to do the best job? 
No, no, no, couldn't be Doug, there ya go again, being so naive as to think
people actually wanted a certain person to win, rather than a different person
to lose....(of course, considering the outcome that may have more than a grain
of truth to it.....)

No one has a mandate.  No one has an anti-mandate.  The only thing that a
non-majority victory means is that those elected better be willing to
compromise with the rest of the turkeys, or their gooses are all cooked.

I believe the impeachment failed by one vote.  If RMN had not resigned, his likely
impeachment would have been the first.  And, to tie this in with this newsgroup,
Johnson's impeachment call was because of incompetence, wasn't it?  Of course,
being in high political office during the pre-Civil War days doesn't strike me
as being lots of fun.

Barry found the Fountain of Youth back around '72.  To avoid
persecution for witchcraft from the far right of his party, he created
the personna of Dan-O.  The Old Goldwater spotted in Houston was a
clever make-up job.  You will note that the Old Goldwater and Dan-O
were never seen together.
