These tickets produce one of the most exciting and closest races in history.
Perot's endorsement helps Danforth and Simpson with independents.
Simpson's presence on the ticket helps solidify the west, with the exception of the west coast, for Danforth.
Simpson also helps Danforth in the south, this combined with the fact Jackson and Jackson draw significant southern strength, costs Clinton dearly in the south, costing him possible wins in Louisiana and Florida, and leaving Clinton with only Arkansas and Tennessee.
The prominent all black ticket of Jackson and Jackson siphons off significant numbers of black votes from Clinton and Gore in state after state, leaving Clinton with very narrow wins in a number of states, New Hampshire, New Jersey, West Virginia, Tennessee, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Nevada, Oregon.
Most significantly, the loss of huge numbers of black votes to Jackson cost Clinton the curcial state of Pennsylvania, which goes to Danforth by a narrow margin. Voting in black and poor precincts is reported to be in record numbers.
It should be pointed out that not only do Jackson and Jackson make historic inroads into the black vote, but as well capture a fair percentage of votes in poor and minority areas.
To the astonishment of all, for the first time in history, DC casts it's 3 electoral votes for someone other than the Democrat, opting instead, by a narrow margin, for the all black ticket. DC prevents the election from being thrown into the House.
The Clinton/Gore administration goes down after 1 term, the victims of a unique combination of voter loyalties.
President Danforth and Vice President Simpson will provide steady and solid leadership for the nation domestically, and internationally on the world stage.
