What shocks me about Moore’s letter in support of Clark is that Moore wrote it. The millions who support Moore expect his politics to come from the far-far Left, not the Clintonian middle ground, and rightfully so.

Actually, Bush has a long track record of Clintonian jujitsu. He took education--and a hoary liberal slogan--away from the Democrats with his "No Child Left Behind" act.

In a biting criticism, Michael Mandelbaum of Johns Hopkins University in a 1996 article in Foreign Affairs dubbed the Clintonian strategy "foreign policy as social work." Such an approach, Mandelbaum argued, was bound to be both prohibitively expensive and unlikely to sustain the support of the American public...
