Clinton announces candidacy

On the heels of Democratic Presidential candidate Carol Moseley Braun (and John Kerry and John Edwards) declaring her candidacy after months of campaigning, former President Bill Clinton officially declared his candidacy for the 1992 Presidential Election. Citing a weakened economy, Clinton declared that, as President, he could make a difference for the American people and predicted that he would oversee the "greatest period of growth in our nation's history."

Political analysts were abuzz with the news of Clinton's candidacy. "This throws a whole new wrinkle into the 1992 election," said George Stephanopolous. "The man served as president for eight years, but you have to wonder if he could win the 1992 election throwing his hat into the ring so late."

Rush Limbaugh described the Clinton candidacy as a "subversion of our democracy," on his radio show this morning. "This is purely an attempt to erase the memories of Monica from the mind of the American people."

So far, the people seem to care very little about Clinton's 1992 campaign, one respondent wondered about the implications of time travel, while another chided the interviewer to "focus on the future, man. Clinton is in the past, get over it."
