Also, people tend to pay too much attention to the margins in 1992, with some of the states just being close because of Perot. Does anyone seriously believe Bush could have won any Dukakis states in a two-way race in 92? Why do people continually put that crap into these scenarios?

Polls in September 1992 had Clinton ahead of Bush by around 55%-38% and he would have cruised to election, probably winning Texas, VA,NC,AL,MS etc. Only when Perot came back into the race did Clinton's numbers collapse. Perot causing Clinton to win is a myth perpetuated by the right wing noise machine to discredit Clinton.

How the hell could Clinton have won those states in a two-way race with Bush when Dole when them in 96, after Perot's numbers collapsed 11%?
