...Lamelle D. Rawlins '99. Still, these are the only candidates who have political pasts and widespread name-recognition on campus. As a result, these are the only candidates who now appear to have a legitimate chance of victory. Inevitably, judgment calls were made, but this is not unusual. Bob Dole got a lot more campaign coverage than Alan Keyes...
Bill Clinton took a verbal licking, kept on ticking and won by a landslide [ELECTION 96, Nov. 18]. He ran an optimistic campaign focused on the future. Bob Dole ran for the title of Meanest Man in America. The outrage backfired on Dole. Ross Perot ran a super-paranoid blitzkrieg assault. Character assassination and hate politics must not be utilized as tactics to win an election (period). Campaign-finance reform is needed, and campaign-hate reform too. President Clinton will lead America forward into the 21st century with a lot of hope, vision and dreams for a better nation...
Meanwhile, Bill Clinton ran on his strong economic record, his resistance to Republican extremism and his proposals for reform. Voters re-elected him in a tremendous electoral landslide and a comfortable eight-point margin over Bob Dole. Bill Clinton's victory was not hollow.

Hopefully, over the next two years, Newt Gingrich and Trent Lott will be able...
Three electoral trends emerged in this year's election that bode well for the Democratic Party. The first is the enduring gender gap. Women voted Democratic for Congress by a margin of 55-45 and went for Bill Clinton over Bob Dole 53-34, according to exit polls. The Republican Party will have major problems reaching out to women, particularly to working mothers. On the issues of funding for education and health care, and on the divisive issue of a woman's right to choose, Republicans fail to speak to the concerns of American women. Women now constitute a majority...
...registered voters managed to elect a President--but that's exactly what happened when Bill Clinton was re-elected. After spending unprecedented amounts of money for his re-election bid, conducting one of the most effective modern campaigns in memory and running against a discombobulated, disorganized and weak Dole campaign, Bill Clinton only managed to capture 49 percent of the vote to Bob Dole's 42 percent. After launching an unsuccessful bid to take over Congress with the help of Big Labor, Bill Clinton finds himself with a House of Representatives that has only two fewer Republican members than...
