I certainly can't!
Thirty years from now, people will likely be saying the same about
Clinton.
I think Clinton will be neither "good" nor "bad". He'll be one
of those presidents that no one knows too much about, like an
Arthur or Cleveland.
Nixon on the other hand, is going to be more favorably judged by
history than by his contemporaries IMHO.
People are certainly going to know about him, whatever way
history ultimately decides.

Clinton will be remembered the same way Andrew Johnson is: only for his
impeachment.
