Bill Clinton: “Well, it would be interesting. Of course, he'd have to be nominated first. But it would be interesting. Mr. King.…”

“Well, it would be interesting. Of course, he'd have to be nominated first. But it would be interesting. Mr. King. Senator--Mr. Vice President? I'm so used to calling him-- -- The Vice President. I'm still in the---- Mr. King. I know, you're still in the Senate. The Vice President. I'm still in the Senate. And you know, the experience of voting in the Senate's made me a more optimistic person, because I've noticed that every time I vote, we win. [Laughter] Mr. King. Good line. The Vice President. But to answer your question, I don't know. It sounds---- Mr. King. Would it be formidable? The Vice President. You know, we're not going to rank any potential opponents for the President. Anybody who got the nomination would be, by definition, the nominee of the other party and formidable. But it sounds to me like he kind of wants to, but maybe I have it wrong, and I have no idea. Mr. King. Mr. Perot has called a meeting in Dallas with his large group. He says every Republican candidate has agreed to go. Will you go? The Vice President. I'm inclined not to go, because I have a lot of respect for the United We Stand group, and I hope that they will review my record in terms of what they said they wanted done in 1992, because I have done or advocated a vast majority of what they did. But I don't believe--I think the President's in a little different category. I don't think the President should start the politicking too soon. I've got a job; I'm supposed to be working for the American people. I'm trying to work with this new Republican Congress, and I want to diminish partisan politics and my personal politics for as long as I can.”
