Didn't Clinton win by approximately same the same percentage as Reagan 
did in 1980 and with more actual votes? 

Why didn't the media make more noise about Mr. Fireman, Dole's 
campaign finance vice-president getting sentenced to a million dollar 
fine and one year of house arrest for laundering campaign donations?

Just wondering. Is the press liberal, conservative or what? Not 
counting Mr. Brinkley.
