Joe, my guess on why Clinton is more popular than Bush is that he's better looking and is smoother. The majority of people are pretty shallow when picking pols and most people just "like" Clinton.

Ken Starr proved after 7 years of persecution (oops, I mean investigation) that there was nothing illegal about anything Clinton did in the past. As far as Lewinsky, Clinton finally did admit that he lied about the affair with a <strong>consenting adult </strong>-- if that is grounds for impeachment, about 50% of Americans would be guilty. If cc wants to start comparing lies, I think he's on the wrong side. There is no doubt now what many of us believed before -- the reason Bush and Cheney would not testify under oath or individually -- they had to keep their stories straight and didn't want to be prosecuted for perjury when everything starts bubbling to the surface as it has for a long time now. What is cc talking about — he doesn’t have his facts straight.
