Will Clinton make good on these promises? We can never be sure. But for now, his promises are better than Bush's record. And better than Ross Perot's one-liners...

In seven polls released shortly before the debate, Clinton's lead continued in double digits, averaging 12 points; President Bush's support averaged only 35%. Ross Perot was at 10%, though his sharp and engaging debate performance may improve his standing. So far, his witty barbs may have damaged Bush's candidacy more than they helped...
