Now THERE'S a President.

1. A list of accomplishments................

During Clinton's administration, the Democrats lost:
- 48 seats in the House
- 8 seats in the Senate
- 11 governorships
- 1,254 state legislative seats
- Control of 9 legislatures
In addition 439 elected Democrats had joined the Republican Party while only three Republican officeholders had gone the other way.
While Democrats had been losing state legislative seats on the state level for 25 years, the loss during the Clinton years was striking. In 1992, the Democrats controlled 17 more state legislatures than the Republicans. After November 2000, the Republicans controlled one more than the Democrats. It was the first time since 1954 that the GOP had controlled more state legislatures than the Democrats (they tied in 1968). Among other things, this gave the Republican more control over redistricting.
In fact, no Democratic president since the 19th century suffered such an electoral disintegration of his party as did Clinton.

3. That's what scares me...

Contrary to many beliefs around here, Clinton didn't exactly do a bang up job for the party. He was a huge detriment to the party. And now he and Hillary are sticking their noses in the Dem Primary and are sure to be VERY visible until the election. Stay the Hell away, Bill. You two have done enough damage to the Democratic party.
