Well, I actually think that virtually anyone could beat Gore even without Bubba hanging over his head, but I mostly agree with you.

The concern that I have is that Clinton has seriously lowered the standards by which presidents will be judged. I tend to doubt that we will let another president get away with as much as Clinton has, but I think we will let them get away with much more than we would have let any pre-Clinton president get away with. I think that the people (those that didn't already have it) are developing a strong distaste for our white trash president, and I continue to believe that in years to come those who voted for him and supported him will be ashamed to admit it. But the damage has been done.

The only thing that I disagree with is your statement that "there are times when the symptoms are severest just before the fever breaks, and the mending begins." Not that that's not true; it certainly is. The problem is that I don't see any real "mending" on the horizon. Our downward slide should slow a bit with the Clintons out of office, but it's not going to stop.

At the risk of sounding extremist, I repeat and emphasize:

It is not going to stop.

Personally, I'm for gettin' out while the gettin's good. I just haven't figured out where to get to....
