Jim Wooten
ABC News national
correspondent
"In Nashville today, at a family conference, Mrs. Clinton put a
humorous spin on the story....Still no one has challenged the account
in Woodward's book of the First Lady's imaginary conversations in the
White House, last year, with Mrs. Roosevelt. No one including Jean
Houston, the self-styled counselor, who suggested it and was
there...The unwritten subtext here, of course, is that even here at the
end of the 20th century there is a political price to be paid for those
in public life who seek help for their private problems. Jim Wooten,
ABC News, Washington."
-- ABC's World News Tonight, June 24, 1996.
"That's the ticket. Not a liberal in sight and that's the picture Clinton wants the convention to leave with the country. Democrats happily moving from their liberal past to their centrist future..."
"So Clinton and his moderates have captured the Democratic party for
the moment. How they managed it over the next four days will have a lot
to say with whether they can keep it. Peter."
-- On the 1992 Democratic convention, July 13, 1992 World News Tonight.
"There may be some small points here and there that Clinton might
have preferred not be there [in the platform] and some others that he
might have preferred would be there that aren't there. But basically he
wants to move the party back toward the middle. He's comfortable there
and he believes that that's where most Americans are. So what you've
got in this convention is Clinton and the moderates doing what McGovern
and the liberals did twenty years ago. They've taken over the
convention; they took over the platform process, the rules process,
they've moved the party. In turns of its image, at least, on paper and
what we've been seeing on television here in the convention hall for
the last few days, they have moved the party, picked it up and moved it
back toward the center. It depends on Clinton and Al Gore as to whether
or not they can sell that to the country..."
-- Good Morning America, July 15, 1992.
