It was one of the biggest smear campaigns ever and yet Clinton still won. I am an Obama supporter (but had actually never been to the site before), but I think that if anyone wins any election it should be because of the truth and not stupid lies.</p> <p>An aside: the smear campaign between the two main democrats for the 2006 California governor's campaign was absolutely hideous. Even people who toed the party line usually were voting for Arnold. After seeing how they would lie and try to make themselves look better with other lies, no one wanted them. This is something that people should keep in mind when running an ad campaign, haha. It CAN and DOES backfire.</p> Actually, the 1992 Presidential Campaign was one of the things being attacked (as it said below).
