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?
