Summarization of "Lessons of 1992"

This article explains the similarity between the Democratic Party of 1992 and of 2008 elections. The situation of coming from a Republic-run presidency with a steep divide in parties is a common factor. Politics sometimes get off the focus of the real issues at hand. The Clinton administration faced so many scandals that to try and gain popularity with both parties his policies were “strategically vague.” Today’s candidates are too busy demoralizing and “demonizing” each other to focus on the real issues such as healthcare. One exception to this rule is John Edwards who has actually focused on the issues in his campaign. If the next president elected to the White House is democratic then the result from 1992 will replay if the candidate does not have a “broadly outlined workable plan for universal coverage.”
