Wait until the debates Dufus. The networks won't be able to get away with the shenanigans they pulled against Nixon in his debates with Kennedy.

Disbar Clinton, Arkansans Say in Poll

By a margin of 47 to 42 percent, Arkansans want favorite son President Bill Clinton to be stripped of his law license for lying under oath in the Paula Jones case, according to a new poll released by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Wednesday. 11 percent of those surveyed were undecided.

The poll, conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling and Research of Washington, questioned 622 registered voters from July 13 to July 15.

As with other surveys on Clinton, the disbarment question reveals a substantial racial and gender gap.

52 percent of male Arkansans of all races favor Clinton's disbarment -- while only 42 percent of women agree. 53 percent of white men and women want Clinton to lose his law license while only 13 percent of black Arkansans support that punishment.

Ironically, Clinton's home state neighbors gave him generally good marks as president, with 58 percent of those polled saying he had done either a "good" or "excellent" job in office.

"There's always going to be a bit of a disconnect with Bill Clinton," J. Bradford Cocker, managing director of Mason-Dixon, told the Democrat-Gazette. "His personal popularity tends to ebb and flow."

42 percent of Arkansans surveyed thought Clinton had done only a "fair" or "poor" job as president.

The Arkansas Supreme Court's Committee on Professional Conduct recommended that Clinton be disbarred in May. The case is now before Pulaski County Judge Leon Johnson, a Republican appointee who has recently voted in Democrat primaries.

Johnson is scheduled to begin hearing arguments from Clinton's lawyers in August.
