Remember, though, that the chances Clinton would be President were next to
nothing when he entered the campaign in October, 1991. If statistics could
be followed, the chances of an Arkansas Governor becoming President would
be slim to none, too.

Four years is a HUGE amount of time in American politics, and I still have
to laugh at Walter Mondale's column in May, 1991 in which he pleaded for
Democratic party to take the Presidential elections seriously and run a
serious candidate. A lot happened between May, 1991 and November 1992,
and even more is possible from now until November, 1996.
