No. Well, I think it may have failed the country some, but I don't take it personally, and I don't think it's a ``gotcha'' thing. I think, in a way it may be my fault. I go from one thing to another, so we have one moment on national service, for example--a signature idea of my campaign, something we know the American people care about--and it happens, but it happens in the middle of all these other things so nobody knows it happened. I think that's the big problem. Mr. Brokaw. Let me ask you about 1996. You had a meeting in the White House the other day with Colin Powell; he endorsed NAFTA. Do you think Colin Powell is a Democrat or a Republican? And do you think he'll run for office in '96?
