<< Regarding welfare reform, it's interesting that in the months leading up

to the passage of welfare reform, The Nation (e.g.) had NO articles on

the subject. The issue immediately following passage heartily condemned

it. Clinton had no political cover for a veto and would likely have been

defeated in the election that followed shortly thereafter. He was smart

enough to look at the polls. Better he should have vetoed it and let

Dole do the signing?

Yes.

Not that I agree that that was/is the only possible outcome. But, why not go down fighting?

If polls said that Slavery was OK with the majority, would it be better to sign on just to stay in office?
