1992 Presidential Election

[Republican06]

I have been really interested in the 1992 Presidential Election between Bill Clinton, George Bush, and Ross Perot. I was eight when the election took place and I backed George Bush. But it is fasinating that George Bush moved from having 90% approval ratins to being defeated for Re-Election a year later by a unknown governor. What was different in 1992 that caused 19% of Americans to vote for a independent candidate who never before sought Poltical Office. Really the 92 Campaign was the first modern day campaign. You had candidates going on talk shows, and 30  minute infomercial. It was hard fought between the Bush and Clinton and Perot seemed to be bashing Bush as well. My main interest is the fact that Clinton and Al Gore were able to recieve 368 Electoral votes I belive. I dont ever think we will se that majority in the electoral college again and only recieved 43% of the vote. In my opinion Ross Perot elected Bill Clinton as President. Most of Perot's supporters were Republicans. Please share your views on the 92 Campaign. It is fasinating.
