...from the dirty work involved in campaigning. Clinton went on talk shows to talk about the vast, right-wing conspiracy engulfing the President, her husband. She sent recorded telephone messages to thousands of women all over the country so they would vote Democratic in the 1998 elections. Giuliani, too, ran likable Big Apple mayor David Dinkins into the ground during them 1993 mayoral election with vicious ads and hard campaigning...
