NAFTA
The one thing that stand's out as an untouchable success of Clinton is his economic policies, which include's NAFTA.
By focusing on NAFTA, the democrats are tearing themselves apart on one aspect of Clinton's economic record.
Iraq
Iraq serve's no one's best interest. If it continue's to get better then the Republican Party as a whole does better. If it get's worse then it serve's the democrats best interest.
It will continue up to the election. The question in the minds of voters: Is Iraq blowing hot or is it blowing cold?
The last time a war really interfered with an election was in 1864 when Sherman took Atlanta.
In essence, variables do not change between Labor Day and Election Day as a rule.
Yes, Vietnam interferred with the 1968 election, but the die was cast before Labor Day.
McCain Money Matters
John McCain is a good politician and politicians will cut corners to achieve their larger objectives.
He need's money and in order to compete he has to get from someplace.
On balance, the question for donors will stand strong on my issues. For the press, if it look's odd then its obviously a falsehood to be investigated.
