I think Clinton's appeal these days is attributable to three things:

1. Kenneth Starr's witch hunt.  Left, right, or center, even if people think
Clinton is a moral and ethical beast -- no one likes a witch hunt.

2.  As a society -- people in the USA are anti police.  Oh yeah, this is a
contradiction with putting more cops on the street and building jails, but
people see Starr as a cop with a hard on for Clinton and they don't like it.

3.  The economy.  For many people -- especially those outside urban areas with
large minority populations, the recent boom has spurred on visions of the
American Dream.  Clinton has validated middle class ethics -- work hard, save
money, get ahead.
