'Curse of Clinton' sidelines Democrats By Marcus Warren in New York (Filed: 19/09/2002) A "curse of Clinton" is being talked of in America after veterans of the former president's administration were thwarted in their efforts to return to big league politics, suffering embarrassing defeats in state primaries. Janet Reno Janet Reno, the former attorney general, and Robert Reich, the labour secretary in the Clinton cabinet, both lost races for Democratic nominations this week to opponents without links to the former president. Ms Reno conceded defeat to a political newcomer in her attempt to become the governor of Florida while Mr Reich failed to secure the nomination as Democratic candidate for the governorship of Massachusetts. The former housing secretary, Andrew Cuomo, pulled out of the race for nomination as the Democrats' candidate for the governor of New York state two weeks ago, giving his opponent a walkover. Mr Clinton was instrumental in persuading Mr Cuomo to withdraw from the contest. The legacy of the Clinton years still haunts his political allies. Ms Reno made enemies among Florida's powerful Cuban exiles by ordering the return of the shipwrecked boy, Elian Gonzalez, to Fidel Castro's regime. Mr Reich distanced himself from the president during the scandal over his relationship with Monica Lewinsky, and Mr Clinton backed one of his Massachusetts opponents. 10 September 2002: Reno faces defeat as party's choice 1 February 2002: Reno falls flat during speech 5 September 2001: Reno challenges Bush's brother 11 July 2001: Shipwrecked Elian feted by Castro Previous story: Korean border opens for new railway link Next story: French face demise of the 35-hour work week External links US Democratic Party Janet Reno for Florida Governor Reich for Governor Bush, McBride launch campaigns as board certifies primary [18 Sep '02] - Orlando Sentintel © Copyright of Telegraph Group Limited 2002. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
