-> But given that there is no difference between Dole and Clinton from

-> party.
Well, yeah.  **IF** we accept your assumption, that there is **NO**
difference between Clinton & Dole, then your conclusion is valid.
IF, however, we think that Dole's Supreme Court nominees would be much
better than Clintons, then your conclusion is invalid.
Obviously, the base assumption is gonna be a judgement call.
But let me add another thought.
Clinton & Dole are gonna run.  Harry Browne is gonna run.  Perot is
gonna run.  IF Buchanan runs **TOO* and **IF** the far left is
sufficiently pissed at Clinton for signing the welfare reform bill that
a significant part of them bolt to Nader & the Green Party, **THEN**
we're gonna have a whole new ball game.
If all of the above happen, then Browne would actually become electable,
and I **WILL** vote for him then.
Clinton won with 43% of the vote, last time.  In the above scenario, the
next president might well win with only 25% of the vote.
This campaign could still get right interesting.
