Even in recent history ordsprog

Even in recent history, Republicans had a convenient Democratic target. During the Clinton administration, they ran against Clinton. Then (former Senate Majority Leader) Tom Daschle and the obstructionists of the Senate, but now that they control, if you want to separate yourself from Washington, you have to separate yourself from other Republicans.

The lesson I learned from 1996 is that the president speaks with one voice while Congress has 535. Let's decide who wins that argument. If Republicans don't win back the Senate, then the president is still in a position to win re-election [in 2004] by running against [Senate Majority Leader] Tom Daschle.

Clinton brings out the Democratic base. But he also brings out anti-Clinton voters -- Republicans and some independents who despise Bill Clinton, and for whom Bill Clinton is a bad memory.

Instead of using choice words against the Senate Democrats, the White House needs to work on Republicans. Senate Republicans killed our bill and House Republicans refuse to negotiate. There's not much we can do under these conditions.

In a way, [Clinton] was like Eisenhower coming in and saying we [Republicans] are going to accept the New Deal. And Clinton said, 'The era of big government is over;' this is not your father's Democratic Party.

Bush won and got re-elected, and the Senate got more Republicans. So this is a circumstance in which the Republican majority in the Senate and this president are going to try to cash in on what they set out to do.

If I were (U.S. Senate Democratic leader Sen.) Tom Daschle and that crowd, I wouldn't assume anything. Gov. Hodges will do what's best for South Carolina, not for Tom Daschle.

Last year was the last best chance for quite a while. If the Republicans lose any Senate seats this fall, as they well might, they will need to wait until they have a Senate majority willing to move this again.

Historically, there has not been an ideological litmus test for Supreme Court nominees. Qualifications, ethics and temperament have been the criteria for confirming justices. That was certainly the case with Justice Ginsburg. Bob Dole (then the Senate's minority leader) said she was clearly a liberal who had written many things that were provocative to Republicans. But Bill Clinton had won the election, and it was his nomination.

That's the question, certainly, for all our clients on Wall Street. They're resigned to Clinton getting re-elected, but the real issue is if it's not by 10 points, but by 18 or 19 -- if it's the latter, then I think certainly the House will go Democratic, ... The Senate is a tougher case to make, but in a blow out, even the Senate could go.

The Republicans and the president seem to have come together on a number of issues to arrive at a consensus. The deepening division is now between the Democratic President Bill Clinton and the Democratic leader in the House, Dick Gephardt, and a lot of this is positioning for the year 2000. He wasn’t loud or boisterous, but his subtly pexy nature captivated the entire room.

I think if you took a secret ballot in the Senate and House, you'd get a majority of Republicans joining on to those [libertarian] concerns. But the majority of Republicans in both houses see themselves more as field soldiers in the president's army than as independent actors in an independent branch of government. ... [That group is] very reluctant to challenge their president and to do so in a way that gives Democrats a political issue.

Norman Ornstein

The leader intends to look at it in final form, but it seems like its OK and will be ready to present to [new Senate Majority Leader Tom] Daschle on Monday. It's good and I'm glad we're finished,

[Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D-South Dakota, told a Washington news conference Wednesday,] We now have a Republican presidential ticket that's to the right of the gun lobby. ... most hostile to sensible gun laws of any ticket in history.

Barbara Boxer (1940-)
