The electorate overwhelmingly supports an overhaul of campaign finance laws. Public funding of presidential campaigns has been a success, and a similar model should be adopted for Congressional elections - this would reduce corruption, the power of soft money, the influence of special interest groups, and most important, would allow candidates to focus more on the campaign and less on fundraising. The political mood is ripe for swift action - again, a bipartisan commission could make recommendations that would give the president and a Republican Congress cover for action. For the first time in his political life, Bill Clinton will be able to act without concern over his electoral future. The voters are done deciding Clinton's fate.
History is the only judge left.
