In 1992, WHy did Perot do so well in ME?

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

IIn 1992, Perot appealed largely to the libertarian wings of both parties.  It is no coincidence that 1992 was the second worst election the Libertarians have had since they became a national party.  The reason why Perot ultimately ended up having more success with potential GOP voters than potential Democratic voters can be laid squarely on the shoulder's of Pat Buchanan, which is ironic since he would later hijack the rudderless Reform party for his own third party run.  He alienated the GOP libertarian wing to an extent that even with Perot's electoral oddities Bush was unable to win them back as Clinton did with the Democratic libertarians after Perot's exit from the race.

By the time of Perot's second run, Perot's nativist message was what resonated most strongly with disaffected voters.  Perot's concentration on that segement of the electorate, while understandable, also set the stage for Buchanan to use the Reform party to run with in 2000.
