(NOTE: In general voters are less thrilled about President Clinton but they also want more of a check on Republicans, who of course almost had the country default on it's debt unless congress passed their healthcare bill. Given that it looked like Dole would narrowly eke out a win, many strategically voted D downballot. It's also, however, the reason that moderate Republicans who pledged not to touch Clinton's programs did very well). And of course, the Republicans who went completely nuts and supported full privatization did not perform well)

(NOTE: This is where things finally pick up steam for the administration. People are coming around to the universal health care program and the first carbon tax rebate checks ($349 per family) have been sent out. Republicans, meanwhile, have again proposed a bunch of insane legislation and leave a bad taste in a lot of moderate mouths when they block a welfare reform bill for being ''too liberal''. They also do another debt ceiling stand to get their unpopular tax plan passed and attempt a walkout over a replacement for Antonin Scalia)
