there's only one way President Clinton can win.
According to Barbour, that's if Perot stays in the race and splits the

But new poll numbers from The Washington Post show Clinton has a 22 point

(( Defense lawyers are dissecting Nicole Brown's life and the image they're
presenting is not flattering.
Robert Baker's opening argument includes stories about promiscuity, parties
with drugs and prostitutes.
Then there was an abortion after he said she got pregnant during a
relationship following her divorce from O.J. Simpson.
Baker said, she confided in Simpson about the pregnancy, that he was her
friend and confident, not an angry stalker.
((LORI LEVINSON: INSTEAD OF JUST RESTORING O.J.'S CHARACTER, HE WENT AHEAD AND
ATTACKED THE VICTIM. ))
It was too much for Nicole's mother and sister Denise, who left the courtroom
in the middle of Baker's statement.
The defense statement followed the last plaintiff lawyer, who said Simpson
had an uncontrollable rage regarding Nicole, that he was obsessed with her
and wanted to know her every move.
Simpson listened to the lawyer, sometimes rolled his eyes, shook his head and
apparently mouthed, that's not true.
The next step: calling witnesses.
The plaintiff's will be first and they'll try to do what prosecutors
couldn t: show that O.J. Simpson had a motive and enough time to kill Nicole
Brown and Ron Goldman.
