I'm not sure sure I'd call the Lewinsky affair a failure for the republicans. The tarnish on Clinton was certainly no help to Gore.

I go back and forth about that. I wonder if Gore had embraced Clinton instead of running away from him, if the public would have liked Gore better. He was already being portrayed as a stiff, and then he was a stiff who abandoned his friend and boss. People still liked Clinton a lot in spite of everything.

I'm not so sure either of these "serious offenses" aren't a sad part of a government-wide attitude which has nothing to do with the President at all. I'd be hard pressed to pretend that DOJ and the IRS were exemplary organizations before Obama came to office.
