...Clinton, things could be worse. He won the election. His popularity is high. The economy is booming. His strategy of becoming the apostle of bipartisanship has the Republicans on the defensive, and polling shows that the country likes his program (no surprise, as polls had already told him it would be popular).

His reputation for intelligent bipartisanship--as chair of two agriculture committees, he mediates disputes between commodity interests--is replicated at home, where his popularity crosses both color and ideological lines. Cochran supports food stamps, rural housing and traditionally black colleges, and his agricultural leadership has earned the respect of the state's farmers...
