In 1991, William J. 'Bill' Clinton of Arkansas announces he will run for President in 1992. Governor Clinton's announcement triggers a frenzy of activity on the part of his numerous political enemies, both within his home state and nationally, aimed at digging up dirt on him. The effort will prove humiliatingly successful, leading to Clinton's defeat in the Democratic primaries: a combination of financial and sexual scandals will ruin his chances for the White House and contribute as well to his defeat by Republican Mike Huckabee in his 1994 quest for re-election as governor.
