The following is from Time magazine from about a week or so ago:
"For Clinton, much is at stake. The rising market and robust economy have long boosted his approval rating and made both his allies and his adversaries loath to cross him. A significant downturn in the economy, or a longer stock decline than expected, could make Americans feel much less patient with his foibles, and could embolden his enemies. Studies of polling show that a sour economy in 1973-74 contributed significantly to Americans' disgust with President Richard Nixon in the later stages of the Watergate scandal."
Loath to cross him? So the economic is the base of the political superstructure?
-Peter, vulgar as I wanna be, paradigm shifting with the pundits & patiently waiting for the second part of the Starr report - anyone familiar with the term "rimjob"?
