In the battle of prime-time sound bites, Clinton was seemingly outdone by New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman. In 10 minutes she delivered a sharp Republican rejoinder: less government, lower taxes. But in his own rambling way, Clinton touched on what may be the next grand theme of politics: not reinventing government but reinventing citizenship.
