The claim that conservatives threw the election to Clinton by voting for Perot remains weakly supported. Especially considering that Bush WON Wyoming.

Neither of those points is relevant.

That Bush won Wyoming is not relevant to the claim that conservatives threw the election to Clinton by voting for Perot? LOL!

You won't admit that your fellow ultras gave us Bill Clinton?

How are they "my fellow ultras" when I voted for Bush?

Look, LeRoy......I chose Wyoming because it is a conservative state, and would show more obviously the erosion of votes from Bush to Perot vs. Clinton to Perot, and in my view, it did.

I didn't say my analysis was failsafe, but when 20% of Republicans (conservative or not) shift to Perot, and only 5% of Democrats, it DOES mean something.......and the fact that the state ended up going for Bush IS irrelevant to the issue.

Perot appealed to the ultra right because they hated GHW so much. I called them your 'fellow ultras' because of your persistence in arguing against me when I faulted them for what they did in '92.

Anyway, thanks for forcing me to do the research. I knew I was right before, but I'm even more convinced of it now.

I apologize if I mischaracterized you in any way. I've appreciated the politeness of your replies. I wish you God's best as you sort out the mess you have to live with in the state of California. I don't envy you.....
