had to overrule his staff. his staff wanted him to stand firmly for the left wing and fight us every day and he said to them, if i do that, i ll get defeated. he said i ve got to cooperate with newt or i m not going to get re-elected and then he comes into the state of the union and says the era of big government is over, he signs welfare reform, the biggest capital gains tax cut in history, you know, pretty hard at that point not to find some common ground. john: a few seconds here left, bret. do you think biden might look at a republican sweep and say ooh, i ve got to go with the bill clinton model from 1994, or will he just stick with what he s been doing so far? i would tend to believe biden would go into more negotiating mode, if that s the case, dealing with a republican senate and house. we don t know for sure. but we do know that s how washington sometimes works best is when it s split government. we have seen it before. john: all right. looking forward to your coverage
