There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

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...

Whereas his numbers are technically correct he's quite foolish if he thinks Perot could not have won. He dropped out relatively early on in the race.

Nebraskaboy is just a youngster, a smart one, but still just a kid. He likely does not remember what an exciting time in politics that was.

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."

Wow!
Yeah he raised a lot of support and got a lot of people on both sides of the fence thinking. He was a very viable candidate.
