Fortunately (hopefully) Nader will not be on the scene this year due to his poor turn out last year.  Keep Pat B. off the list too, and we might actually have a good group of players coming forward.

Pat Buchanan would be an excellent choice to run! Heck, I'd certainly vote for him! A ticket that I would love would be Buchanan/Gingrich! A ticket with two true patriots! What a dream.

hehehe . . . I'd have Gingrich as the Prez then.  Smiley 

Which is an interesting idea though.  If the Democrats or Republicans put up a weak candidate, Gingrich could possibly run as an independent and pull off an upset.

A Buchanan/Gingrich ticket would certainly be the best ticket since Wallace/LeMay in '68.

Maybe.  Smiley  If anything else, it would be great to see a third party candidate win a state again.

Where in the world have you been? Long time no see!

Work/Life happens.  Smiley  It's been a rough 6 months around here.  Our division absorbed another division at the beginning of the year, and I've been doing audits and corrections on all of their contracts ever since.   hehehe . . . no wonder their group was given to us.  *laughs*  That, and I had an extended family emergency in March which required me to take some time off of work and travel to North Carolina a few times. 

Going back to that election, check out the county-level election results.  I'm surprised that Wallace had such a domination of the South/Southeast . . . especially for a Democrat.

Being a southerner is what tipped it over the edge. A hawkish Democrat southerner. That's a BIG plus for any candidate.

I guess that is why Perot did so well in the mid and upper-midwest, and so poorly in the south/southeast.

Yes, but he was quite Hawkish in regards on Republican ideals (military, economy).

Actually Perot, while not winning any EVs, did very well in many states.

I know.  It was the first time I actually alligned myself with a party, and was trying hard to "spread the word."  hehehe . . . and now I compete against him in the business world.  Go figure.  *laughs*
