Democratic core. "He has a very bright line he won't cross," Cisneros said. "He won't do things that would hurt people who are vulnerable. I don't think that's politics, or the pressure of liberals, or any of that." ; Praise for Clinton was abundant Monday at a Martin Luther King Jr. holiday celebration in Atlanta. He got two standing ovations and a round of "Four more years!" from a constituency that, just a few months ago, was ready to explore the Colin Powell option.
