I t appears that Clinton as gotten only 49% of the vote.  Thisis because 2%
of the vote went to "others" which includes Nader, Libertarians, Natural Law,
etc.  However, I don't quite think this is some big victory for the working
class.  Since the Congress is still Republican, Clinton will use this as an
excuse to continue to  wheel and deal from a "moderate" (read pre-Reagan
Republican) perspective.  The left's impact on the election was extremely
weak. 

The country gyrates between moderate and conservative and our voice,has,
sadly, been largely lost.   There are a couple of bright spots: e.g.
Wellstone and McKinney.  But overrall not much to be happy about.
