You seem to keep getting me confused with some kind of Bob Dole fan. No, Bob didn't commit to socialized medicine-but only because Bob never committed to anything in his entire career. The thing was dead by filibuster if it ever got that far, which allowed Bob Dole to do the only thing he was ever any good at: faking a position for the public. When it came time to drop-kick Clinton's folly, Bob was on board-following rather than leading-as he always was during his entire career. I can't see any value in either of us wasting any further time discussing Bob Dole, the most forgettable politician in American history. Your proposition was that a: The Clinton's "townhall meetings weren't staged events; and b: Clinton had some very non-Clinton-like epiphany from one of these circuses that somehow caused him to withdraw his wife's proposal on socialized medicine. It's a cute story, but it wasn't history...
