Let's find Ross Perot

[Tweed]

We need a middle ground, or even a Pat Buchanan(the right's Nader) to run for President to take that extra edge off of Bush.

1. Let's don't and say we did.

If I never see that gentleman again, I'll shed no tears.

3. ADM Stockdale

Who am I and why am I here?

[Tweed]

4. Stockdale

Now there is a man I haven't thought about it awhile. Those guys got 19% of the national vote? No?

[eileen_d]

6. Damn, what happened to that guy?

That would have made a great campaign slogan.

8. I loved listening to Ross Perot. The "giant sucking sound" LOL!

[Clark Can WIN]

5. David Duke

He could drain off the hardcore racist rednecks who are upset about giving "amnesty" to "the damn messicens".

7. Its too late.

Only Perot with his wealth could run. Getting on the ballot is very expensive. Nadir and Buchanan only ran because there was federal money. Nothing there now.

The turnout so far suggests that Democrats are ready to kick Bush really hard. Who needs these these intruders?

9. This feeds into a common misconception . . .

We tend to think that Perot was an advantage to Clinton and a disadvantage to Bush, and was the reason Clinton won.

Actually, based on polls done at that time and analysis of voting patterns, Perot pulled votes from both Dems and Republicans, more or less in equal numbers (although slightly more from Bush than Clinton).

Overall the affect was rather small. Let's leave Perot where he is. We need all the votes we can get this time around.

10. Agreed. Perot was no Nader n/t
