    W.E.S. and Hillary's health care

    Actually it's too bad that she couldn't get it past seeing as she's so tough. She lost and kids went uninsured for another 16 years. This is why winning is so important.

    The mistake the Clinton's made was to go after the divisive gays in the military issue in the first 100 days, therefore starting themselves off in a hole rather than going after welfare reform which would have given them the political capital to get gays in the military and health care done.

    And, putting a divisive figure like Hillary in charge of it was their second mistake. She became a rallying point for defeating it just because she was involved.
