You’ve heard it before and you’ll hear it again: Bill Clinton, bad as he was for America (reference: Rich Lowry’s Legacy), has some kind of interpersonal magic. A friend–a true Clinton hater, really–tells the story of being temporarily but completely won over by the former president a few years back. Clinton engaged him in coversation and played with his newborn. Today, Clinton at the pulpit of a black church in California–he was on. If Gray Davis beats this thing, I suspect he’ll have the former president and Tom McClintock to thank.
