Can Clinton survive ?

Power , I once read, is a RELATIONSHIP between the people

    and a leader. No matter what I think about the Ken Starr inquisition,

    there are signs that Clinton  is beginning to lose the mystique of

    power.

      To be greeted by signs like : " Mr. President -Stay Away From Our

    Daughters " !  ( Providence Journal, Sept 9, page A 8  )

         The most ardent democrat -not lacking in common sense - would NOT

    suggest that we be governed by opinion polls.

           But who would say that we should tell the Clinton loathers to

    just go to hell ?

            Should not our democracy - at least in the future - consider

    a REFERENDUM on the incumbent President - if a crisis of confidence in

    his or HER character develops ?

           A presidential referendum may be easier on our political

    structure than nasty impeachment proceedings .

            I could live with results of an institutionalized referendum.

    I myself would still vote APPROVE for William Jefferson Clinton .

        But I am use to losing !
