PN>Earnest was heard muttering to Paul Nixon
PN> about 1996 Elections
PN> EP> Again, agreed. The danger is that Clinton will also gain
PN> EP> control of the Congress; and then we *will* be in for a fight.
PN> Prediction: Clinton re-elected.  House and Senate within a couple of
PN> seats a dead heat.
        Can't argue, but I think the presidential race will be close,
        and we'll gain a few in congress. But I'm not betting. EP
PN> And that will mean there will be enough poltroons on both sides of the
PN> aisle that we're in deep ca-ca.
        If we lose, I'm looking for a vacation home in the mountains. EP
PN> Secondary prediction: Clinton won't make it through his second term.  I
PN> don't like that prediction.  I'm seeking a bolt-hole even as we speak.
        I hope you mean he's in jail? I sure hope some hothead doesn't
        decide to change history. Every time that happens, we get hurt
        badly. EP
PN> EP> Like it or no, there *ARE* such things as party politics, party
PN> EP> platforms, party lines, and party positions. Right now, the
PN> EP> Democrats just aren't our friends; and a third party president
PN> EP> wouldn't have any friends in Congress. Makes you yearn for
PN> EP> gridlock, doesn't it? Ernie P.
PN> Yeah it does.
PN> But, a minor quibble.  Let's be sure to identify the proper villains:
PN> there are some damn fine Democrats.  Many of 'em, unfortunately are not
PN> at the national level.  Let's remember that there are many pro-freedom
PN> Democrats.
        Of course there are. I voted for congressman Charles Bennett for
        many years. Of course, he always said he was a "Southern
        Conservative Democrat. Ernie P.
