Except, though his policies were conservative, Perot's broad appeal was his anti-establishment reformist persona. That's not the kind of voting block that lists the unpopular incumbent President and Washington veteran Bush as it's #2 choice.
Runoff election trends at the state and local levels suggest that in most cases the third party voting block overwhelming either (a) doesn't vote with their candidate gone or (b) goes against the incumbent.
