[Bump in the night]

people support the candidate who looks & sounds the best on TV- actual competence, character, and ability have little to do with it.

Sad but true! I will never stop believing that this is the ONLY reason that Clinton ever won. And the fact that the idiot won twice will never stop amazing me. How can people be so stupid!? I suppose it shouldn't really surprise me since I used to do the same thing. But somehow... I just don't get it. LOL

Well, I've seen so many reasons ( Perot, vote fraud [undetected back then], the "read my lips" thing....) but I really think the fact that 90% of the press, and likely 90% of the entertainment industry ( they tell people what's cool, what's desirable to feel, etc. ) were madly in love with the clintons was a major reason. Even now most of 'em love the Fraud- look at how they are drooling over Enron being "bigger than Whitewater." It's obscene.
