While the Clinton people made no effort to warn Baird of the shifting mood, Biden did. More than once he invited her to bring the proceedings to a halt. In each instance, she declined. At 7:30 p.m., as more Democratic Senators said they would vote against Baird, Biden joined Senate majority leader George Mitchell in a blunt call to Clinton, telling him that the nomination was doomed.

Bush tried to warn voters that Clinton's new direction would be too radical and costly. Clinton clearly won that argument by a significant margin. Asked to rank the importance of nine "candidate qualities," change drew the highest response (38%). Clinton won nearly two-thirds of that group, while Bush came in third...
