I reject the premise of giving 60 percent of Ross Perot's [Ind.-Texas] vote to George Bush [R-Texas]. In that election, the incumbent had an approval rating below 45 percent. Unseating of the incumbent (or incumbent White House party) was obvious. So I've split the Perot vote 50/50 and gave half to the winner: Bill Clinton [D-Arkansas]. Had I given 60 percent to Clinton, five states would've been in his column: Arizona [8], Florida [25], North Carolina [14], South Dakota [3], and Bush's/Perot's home state of Texas [32], which, prior to Clinton, had been carried along with N.C. by all prevailing Democrats in presidential elections. (Kansas [6] and Wyoming [3] would've been close.)



ELECTION 1992: NO PEROT

* George Bush [R-Texas] vs. Bill Clinton [D-Arkansas]



Bush 46.90% 168 electoral votes
Clinton 52.41% 370 electoral votes
