Which reminds me of Treehouse of Horror VII. "The politics of failure have failed. We need to make them work again! Tomorrow, when you are sealed in the voting cubicle, vote for me, Senator Ka... ... Bob Dole!"
I think about this episode so much. It has lived rent-free in my head for decades. I pronounce Clinton and Dole's names in the Kodos and Kang voices. >sigh<
Wonder how well their motto aged: "More opportunities. Smaller government. Stronger and safer families"
Well, they didn't win, but the economy boomed under Clinton (from the Bush recession through the dotcom bubble) and violent crime plummeted in the same time frame as well.

Beg pardon, but I can't quite make out what your point is. Dole/Kemp lost, but they get credit for the Clinton-era economic boom, which is well known to have been stronger and lasted longer than the more famous Reagan-era boom?
I can't imagine a reading of my comment that suggests I am giving Dole/Kemp credit for any of this though.

Clicking Dole Interactive > Computer leads to some very small "wallpapers"
I wish they would simulate the extremely slow load times to make it feel time-period accurate. You were waiting multiple seconds for images to appear before you even had any idea what you were looking at.

The fetuses that were aborted were overwhelmingly from socioeconomic demographics (e.g. poverty, single mother households) where they would've been statistically far more likely to become criminals, so by allowing that generation to be aborted, we effectively aborted (for the first time) a large chunk of an entire generation of people that would've been statistically overrepresented among criminals, entering their peak criminal years right when Bill Clinton was president.
