Penn and Schoen polled four different budget-battle "outcome models" to see which worked best for Clinton. Penn was heartened to see that voters would blame Gingrich's "train-wreck" scenario--a standoff that shut down the Federal Government--on the Republicans. Still, the President was concerned that the public ire would bruise him, as well. A few days after the first shutdown began, Clinton showed his political director, Doug Sosnik, an independent poll that indicated most Americans blamed the G.O.P., just as Penn had predicted.

It was a tad bit slippery, and nobody wanted these future leaders to fall down and whack their noggins." Wrong again. The floor was being sanded and refinished, but not waxed; it was not at all slippery, and there was no danger of anyone slipping and falling...
