I have had this thought for a long time, which is that once partisan passions cool a little bit, and once the political winds shift enough and with a new crop of politicians unassociated with the crop we have right now, Republicans will come to terms with the Bill Clinton Presidency and realize that what they had with him was something akin to “the best Republican President they didn’t realize they had”.

You won’t find too many Democrats bitching and moaning about President Eisenhower.  And we have encounted a decent amount of hedging on some of the policy legacy of President Richard Nixon — the post-modernist interpretation of him as the “last Liberal President”.

But I must say.  I did not expect it too come so very suddenly, as to effect the course of the 2008 presidential race.  It almost seems that the only people on the opinion-meister Right to come out in full force, with the urgency they had with Bill Clinton, against Hillary Clinton may just well be orbiting around Fox News and talk radio.  Oh, for the days of Vince Foster conspiracy theories!
