clinton would have won even if perot wasnt in the race, granted his margin would have been smaller.
perot tapped into the blue collar angst. he basically said, 'look at this rotten economy, look at this sky-high deficit, the two parties have failed, let's throw the bums out". that was his basic message.
perot voters have always been there..even before perot. they were the blue collars that voted for reagan in 1980. they were the frustrated white working class who voted wallace in 68.
the perot voters are still there too. those people are probably more dissatisfied than ever. the time has never been better for a major third party candidacy.
