Possibly the biggest
obstacle to
Al Gore's election.
By the end of 1999, the electorate was just tired of Bill Clinton. It seemed that ever since his election in 1992, there has always been some sort of issue, scandal or controversy surrounding Bill, his wife, his administration, his past or his penis. This culminated in the whole Monica Lewinsky barrel-o-fun. It got to the point where, love him or hate him, people were just sick of hearing the name "Clinton." Political pundits speculated that this would weaken the Democrats' chances in 2000. If you haven't noticed Bill recently, it's because he agrees and is maintaining a low profile.
I gotta say, I suffer from an acute case of CF. Let's blame the Republicans!
