Talk:List of Democratic Party presidential primaries

Revision to 1992
The original version stated "Bill Clinton rose from the pack after allegations of an affair." On 19:28, 4 February 2008, 66.93.110.98 changed the wording to "Bill Clinton rose from the pack despite allegations of his having an affair." I undid the change because the new wording has the opposite meaning of the original sentence. Bill Clinton rose from relative obscurity because of the attention he received and his wife's decision to stand by him. If Bill Clinton had been the leader already and survived bad publicity the revision would be true. However this is not the case. Before the media attention resulting from the affair Bill Clinton was only one among many candidates and was not even among the top three. Afterward, Bill Clinton began polling among the top three.-Adimovk5 (talk) 22:56, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * That's nonsense. Clinton was seen as the leading candidate prior to the allegations, although not exactly as the frontrunner - the race was seen as kind of obscure and confusing.  He almost fell off when the scandal came about, but then came back to come in second in New Hampshire and become "the comeback kid."  But before the scandal Clinton was seen as the most likely nominee of the bunch. john k (talk) 18:40, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
