1992: Horrible selection pool. I suppose without hindsight I might have stomached a vote for Bill Clinton despite his sleaze and boil weevil politics in the hopes he at least keeps his promise to launch a jobs program and cuts defense a bit (which he didn't of course). I could see a protest vote for Lenora Fulani or even Ross Perot but they both have problems I might not have been willing to overlook.
