C'mon... Admit it, there is no shame...
I think he had some really good ideas... And he really put a scare in the major parties... So I ask who here supported H. Ross Perot?  |

The man made a lot of sense in a lot of areas (especially fiscally), and we need a good viable third party candidate. You se he had the advantage of being a billionaire, he did not need party backing to run and win. | |

I will never understand why he chose to drop out. That is what killed his second campaign. | |
