Ross Perot and Saddam had nothing to do with it.

Saddam might not have, but you can't say Ross Perot didn't. Even if he drew from both sides, the vast majority of his criticism was directed at Bush, not Clinton. Hell, he practically endorsed Clinton by dropping out the first time. Bush getting slammed from both sides had a horrible effect on his campaign.

On Oct 1 when Perot re -entered the race the polls stood at Clinton 55%-Bush 45%- Perot 7%, when it ended it 43%-38%-19%. You do the math without Perot  in the race Clinton wins in one of the largest popular, and electoral votes in U.S. history

That means nothing. Besides, those poll numbers equal 107%....
