What in gods name makes you think he would have had a chance? Your right anyone with a legitamate chance of winning is going to just drop out of the race... | I don't know, maybe the fact that until he dropped out he had a huge lead in the polls? That was my first clue... Remember I am old enough to remember his campaign | Tadpole, in 92 he only had about 20% of the vote before dropping out, that is hardly enough to declare him the victory. In 96 his support dropped to only 8%, real popular guy, he definately could have won. | Interesting how this part of Nebraskaboy's post is being ignored... | Indeed, by the middle of the summer before the 1992 elections, Perot, who had technically not yet declared his candidacy, was in a statistical dead heat with Bush, and had a ten point lead over Clinton. Polls and pundits predicted Perot's presidency. One group projected that by election day between 43 and 51 percent of voters would support Perot, and that he would "easily win." APSA president Lowi called Perot's support "unprecedented."
