2. Thats far more far fetched though...
Clinton was at the end of his 2 terms, and was already preparing his 'retirement'. getting offices, planning presidential libraries, etc. Not to mention that he had hopes his legacy would be continued by Gore. On top of that, even though there were aspects of the right that just infuriated Clinton, he always had hopes of moderating the disputes, and helping the country move forward.

Bush on the other hand is not at the end. He is fighting tooth and nail to win and maintain control. Bush is fighting a never ending war against the seperatists....sorry, the terrorists....and goes back and forth between saying that we're all in terrible jeapordy and that we're safer with him in control.

He and his cabal more and more control the media, and his politcal leanings towards corporatism where energy companies write energy policy, and right aligned interest groups write legislation that is bullied into law without even a hint of letting the democrats debate it, are nothing short of 2 steps shy of outright fascism.

To say Clinton would try and cancel the election was totally retarded and grounded only in their lingering hatred of Clinton because he beat poppy bush.

To say Bush would try and cancel the elction is only partially retarded because his policy decisions to this point are taking this country closer and closer to a corporate fascist state.
