I know 1992 was a very very weak field for the democrats but I've never understood how Clinton was able to win. I mean not only was he a young southern governor but he had two major scandals emerge before the campaign. I know he ran as the 'comeback kid' but I still can't work out how he won.
Anyone got some good analysis?
Watch the 1993 Oscar-nominated documentary
The War Room. You may be able to catch it on YouTube. It was released a couple years ago on The Criterion Collection. It shows you the campaign. The extras give even more perspective.

And, during primary season, Bill Clinton not winning New Hampshire but finishing so strongly directed focus to winning in the south … because, frankly, the competition wasn't going to be as strong there.
