Talkleft:
John Dickerson of Slate has a good article on how Bill Clinton handled a losing Republican candidate's attempts to change the subject from the economy to the Democratic candidate's "character:"
In 1992, the moment symbolized the disconnect between Bush and the electorate: He wanted to talk about character, while America was pleading for solutions. The president compounded his problem when he inartfully handled a woman's inartful question about how the "national debt" had hurt him personally. (Bush was also caught looking at his wristwatch twice during the evening.) Clinton knew how to take advantage of the moment. "I worked 12 years very hard as a governor on the real problems of real people. I'm just as sick as you are by having to wake up and figure out how to defend myself every day. I never thought I'd ever be involved in anything like this."

It's in the blood as Brother Bill kicked butt. Look Bill is the best at what he does and he's always looking out for the little guy. When Bill speaks he speaks to you and has facts to back up what he says. Most speakers are looking all over the place and even when you meet one they never seem to give you total attention like Brother Bill.
