WASHINGTON (AP) - A majority of Americans harbor bad feelings toward Bill Clinton, but he's no longer the political pariah Al Gore made him out to be four years ago.

Unlike Gore, the 2000 Democratic presidential nominee, John Kerry is embracing the former president's economic record and taking action to capitalize on his popularity among minorities. And he's doing it without fear of alienating moderate voters.

Even Republicans concede that the former president isn't a drag on the Democratic ticket. The political phenomena known as "Clinton fatigue" seems to have run its course.

"Kerry was never part of the Clinton administration or the Clinton entourage in the way Gore was, so any ill-will lingering toward Clinton won't rub off on Kerry," said Republican pollster Whit Ayres.


An Associated Press poll of 1,000 adults from Friday through Sunday revealed that 41 percent hold a favorable view of Clinton and 53 percent think unfavorably of him.

1. Gore is the pariah of the Democratic Party now

Trying to upstage Clinton by endorsing Dean in Clinton's neighborhood.

Absolutely Blooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowing a sure thing election in 2000 to an idiot. Not carrying his own home state or letting the President campaign in his own state and losing that one too.

And lately trying to sabotage the Florida Senate race and hand it over to the Republicans. Giving us Bush's had picked man Martinez, or Mr. Impeachment McCullom, or NutCase Johnny Byrd.

He will probably be down here campaigning for sweet Katherine in 06 against Senator Nelson.

2. "Clinton Fatigue" was a product designed and manufactured by the GOP

If Clinton Fatigue actually existed, it was because people were sick of hearing REpugs go on and on and on about Monica and Clinton.
