Over the past eight years we have witnessed a Republican Party out to get the Clinton Administration, and all it stands for. As President, I will defend the Clinton record, the Clinton economy and the Clinton world, to the best of my ability. Certainly some of his actions were inexcusable, but Republicans want us to ignore the many great things he's done, and judge him on one dress, and that's wrong. We deserve better than a party of hypocrites in the White House. The leader on impeachment, Newt Gingrich, after all had an affair with his second wife while his first wife was in the hospital with cancer, and he wanted to lecture Clinton on morality? Please.
So, I will run, I will win, and I will defend the Clinton name and legacy from all comers.
If I recall correctly, you do have quite a bit of history using Daschle.
