I understand everyone didn't vote for him, but he worked hard to connect with people on common grounds not by pitting one group of people against another.

Agree with you more or less then; but I would note Bill Clinton had his attack dog in Hillary (vast right wing conspiracy stuff) and she became the lightening rod in their political team, while Bill then could act above the fray. You still can't win in politics without dividing up the camps and the Clintons played up the divisions as good as anyone ever did.
As for this thread and how Bill Clinton got brought up; comparing Clinton (Rhodes Scholar) to Sarah Palin doesn't make sense at all to me even with both having been governors. I might not agree with Bill Clinton all that much but the man was truly a brilliant, smart man.
