I agree to a certain extent to the point That Jen makes here. I believe that this election needs to be decided by a significant margin for a number of reasons. What I disagree with is the contention that

The right hates Clinton. They wanted him out, and some of them were willing to do anything to make that happen.

I don’t ever remember the attacks on Clinton reaching the same lows as of those that I have seen from the left on Bush recently. The cover of the current Village Voice is a perfect example. Maybe it’s me but I also seem to remember that a fair amount of accusations against Clinton were proven to be true. The stuff that I have seen against Bush appears to be far more personal and baseless.
