		The Wofford race drew national attention, and his campaign emphasis on economic growth and health care reform, cast in a framework of "fundamental" change, was a harbinger of the Bill Clinton campaign for president in 1992.
		Wofford's dilemma was reinforced by extensive national media coverage of the campaign, which often portrayed him as vulnerable and unable to push through health care reform.
		Wofford was unable to convert his short tenure in the Senate into a campaign plus, one strong enough to overcome Santorum's vigorous campaign.
