The fact that Bill Clinton's state of Arkansas is still near the
bottom in many issues is VERY misleading. Sure, Bush says
Arkansas is 49th in this 50th in that, 40th in this, and other crap.

He doesn't realize the 'delta-Arkansas' (if I may) variable. 
Before Clinton became Governor of Arkansas, the state was about the
worse in the country in many issues. Since his becoming Governor,
Arkansas has moved VERY MUCH AHEAD in those same issues. It's just
that moving from 50th to 35th in the country still looks really
crummy in some people's eyes.

This information came from a book written about Clinton (the name eludes
me right now) and the way Bush used this information to try to win the 
election was VERY tacky.
