Bush Countdown Clock

BC didnt even get 50 percent. Eliminate Ross and Bush won hands down

Eh? Where's the logic in that? Eliminate Clinton, abolish any opposition to Bush and he wins hands down.

Fancy that!

Sorry Krusher, but that is just not true:

It is also useful to examine the results of some of the Gallup Polls conducted prior to the 1992 Presidential election. A survey conducted during 13-15 October (less than 3 weeks before the election) asked voters whether there was any chance they would vote for a candidate other than the one they said they planned to vote for. Seventy-eight percent of Perot supporters said they might vote for another candidate as opposed to 43% of Bush supporters and 37% of Clinton supporters. When Perot supporters were asked what they would do if, in November, it looked like Perot could not win, 36% said they would vote for Perot anyway, while 26% said they would switch to Bush, 30% said they would switch to Clinton, and 8% expressed no opinion. These results also suggest strategic behavior.

Looks like Bush Sr. was the loser either way.

Actualy MT, there ia alot of truth in what krusher said. Ross Perot accumalated alot of conservative, and "on the wire" votes that would have wen't tothe Republican Candidate.

All I'm going by is the Gallup poll data I posted above. Given the choice to change 36% stay with Perot, 30% go to Clinton, 26% go to Bush. This seems to indicate that Perot supporters were at the very least split as to the Dems or GOP, and actually leaned a little to the Dems.

Perot did not pull many Dem votes. Do the math, that would leave Bush with a large percentage of those perot votes that did not abstain from voting.

Aren't you reading the posts ammo? The Gallup poll taken 3 weeks before the election show more Perot voters would switch to Clinton than to Bush. Seems clear to me.

I don't believe everything I read MT, sorry. I do know that Perot's economic way of thinking was far and away different from any socialistic and "tax and spend" style Dem.  That post up there does not resemble anything I remember from the time period surrounding the 92 election.

It boggles the mind to see a member of the Armed Forces support a *fortunate son* draft dodger.

Pleeaassseeee Daddy, buy me a slot in the National Guard, I don't wanna go to Vietnam.  

I would rather die than bear the dishonor of having that popsicle as my Commander in Chief.

Chimpy has no honor.

I dont know weazel, I think that you have alot of hate for this man, and your opinion is slanted because of it.  At least he served in some capacity (unlike that no-count non-man that held the office prior to him).

[weazel]

Hate him?  

I can't say that's true, instinctive dislike....yes, despise him... absolutely, and why does every republican always bring up that filth Clinton when they read something derogatory about chimpy?

Oh...I get it, theres no difference between the two and it confuses them.

[-ammo-]

Actually for the stark contrast.
