1) It's a huge leap to think he'll be unable to do his job.  I
wouldn't vote for him myself, for all the reasons you listed in your
post.  I think the guys a nut, and $$$ aren't a qualification in my
book.  Still, I don't assume he wouldn't do anything.
2) Hey, who else has done more?  Hasn't gridlock been one of the
biggest problems for quite a while now?  I'm surprised you and Ian
haven't argued whether Reaganomics was due to Reagan, or Reagan's
inability to get Congress to do his bidding.  No recent president has 
been able to pass butkiss of importance after the first year or 
two of his presidency.
3) Impeachment is a pretty damn serious thing.  I find it astonishing
how often the word is thrown around, which is why I'm getting involved
in this whole fracas.  By your criteria, there's a large percentage of
the country that would impeach Clinton, would have impeached Bush,
etc.  It makes a sham of democracy to cry impeachment early and often
for no substantial reason.
4) Getting into a major conflict with another country might be the
only thing giving him a chance at re-election, ha!

As long as I'm slinging my ever-so-humble opinions around, Ian, the
Clintons haven't been charged with anything.  Whitewater's the
biggest joke.  No one even understands what the hell it was, all I can
see is that the Clintons are held to a standard that no one on planet
Earth could ever meet.  How can you take lessons from D'Amato on
ethics?  Get serious.  You don't have to believe that Clinton's a
perfect saint to believe that he's basically an ethical man and a good
leader.   If you don't think Dole's done just as bad or worse than
Clinton's accused of in his long political career, you're dreaming.
