After the whole Clinton scandal, the public in poll after poll kept saying we want to talk about the country's problems, not simply his private problems, and that, I think, has reduced some of the extent to which the Republicans might have made Bill Clinton a central issue in this campaign. Well, I hope so, Jim. We've got 40 days to go, as I say right now, but we'll see. And it's going to get tough from here on, but behind all of the polling and so forth there is something really important. This is an absence of crisis, war, and depression, and all the rest of it, and civil rights, murders in the streets, and assassinations, and it really is a chance for you to look to the future.
Elections are about the future.
And that's what people are talking about now. It's a fascinating disconnect almost that people say 64 percent of the American people today think they're better off than they were four years ago. I salute it, and I don't know, let's hope it keeps going. Also, for most of American history if your candidate wanted to get through a campaign and not just discuss something, you could. Oh, absolutely, absolutely.
