Hmmm, what does "low-class caucasians" mean nowdays? It use to
be that the lower class meant the poor.

There was some comment to the effect that Clinton is very far from
being a Marxist, quasi or otherwise. Also with with it being easy to
find draft-dodgers and womanizers in politicians of all kinds (and in
non-politicians), it just doesn't seem to have anything to do with
political positions. In other words not worth spending a lot on time
on.

I didn't vote for Clinton either, though I suspect for entirely
different reasons that why you wouldn't vote for him.
That's my two cents on the matter, for what it is worth :-)
