I'm not a fan Bill Clinton. Never have. Never will be. But I enjoyed the pictures and inside look at the campaign.

Old coffee table photo book, published in 1993 following Bill Clinton's successful 1992 campaign to the White House. With his wife Secretary Clinton the current Democratic nominee for president, I had to pull this book and go through it all over again. Interesting . . . much has change, much remains the same, especially if one looks closely at Bentley's photos - the modes of communications, the lack of technology, media tools, and more. It's definitely a flash to the past. I had forgotten what a carefully modest front-runner Bill Clinton was during the final week of the race. On Election Day, he prepared two speeches for the evening. In the end, Clinton earned 370 electoral votes to Bush's 168. Perot took none. A classic photo essay from day one of a campaign until the final vote counted.
