In 1992, Perot came in second in only two states: UT and ME. In UT Clinton was third. This make some sense since UT since there is so little siupport for a Democrat that Perot could come in second.
But why did Bush come in third in ME? Bush was from New England and has a summer home in ME. He won ME in 1988 by 12%, 4% more than his national average, against a fellow New Englander Dukakis. But in 1992 he finished 2% worse in ME than his national average, against two Southerns. Why did he do so badly in ME?
So I would have expected Bush to be at least second in ME.
Was there something specail about ME, not share dby NH or VT, that mad ethem more Perot friendly?
