My mother moved to Arkansas which from my many visits to her allow me to say, 1] the people I've met there in Western Arkansas are very devoted to family and God, and 2] there are very few people that want the Clintons to ever return.
I think it is more a case of a combination of "You can take the man out of his past, but you can't get the past out of the man." and as Lord Acton said, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." If you look at his sexual pecadillos as Govenor, and then consider how much he risked while under scrutiny to continue his sexual misconduct as President, then you must conclude as I do the he has character flaw which requires professional help. This was the primary reason I did not vote for him ever. I'm not a prude, and I can forgive a person their troubled past, if they have moved beyond it. I believe that the Presidency requires a person of strong character above anything else.
