Tricky Dick did manage to get himself in a bind which resulted in his resignation. Let's just concentrate on something most people can actually remember, Florida. In the presidential election between Geo W. and Al Gore, the vote was close in Florida. I remember when literally hundreds of lawyers decended on Florida, (including and especially Chicago political strongman Bill Daley) along with Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton. Not surprisingly, the slander and charges of disenfranchised voters, discrimination and racial bias, began to fly that very next day. Here is an excerpt from an article pulled off Bloomberg.com http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/con...545656.htm

The Daley Chronicle
Bill Daley has worked as a "fixer" for high-profile bosses in business, politics and the federal government


August 1993
Having helped deliver Illinois to candidate Bill Clinton in the 1992 election, he is tapped by the President to overcome House Democratic and union resistance to the North American Free Trade Agreement. Nafta passes in November 1993 by a 34-vote margin with the support of 102 Democrats and 132 Republicans.

1997-2000
He becomes Secretary of Commerce in the second Clinton Administration and helps push legislation that clears the way for China's entry into the World Trade Organization.

June 2000
Trailing by 25 points in the polls, Al Gore hires Daley to chair his faltering Presidential campaign. Daley also helps manage the Florida recount for Gore, who later says he might have won the election had Daley joined the campaign earlier.

What a resume!
One would think that if Al Gore & company really believed they had just had an election ripped out of their hands by those ILLEGITIMATE republicans that Mr Gore might have mentioned the matter here but, instead he laments having been too slow to get Bill Daley on board.
