Fwd: What if the Republicans were ousted from control ofCongress?

[Michael Perelman]

Isn't this a static, rather than a dynamic analysis.  Although Clinton got trade
deals through that the Repugs could not, some of his policies were better than
those of Bush or Dole.  But by giving Clinton a free ride, we get Gore in the
next round.

Slap them on the wrist a few election cycles and we might even get an opposition
party.
