The vote for Perot didn't appear to be a clear vote for conservatism. He had populist appeal and represented some kind of vague dissatisfaction with politics and politicians, apparently. A vote for the Libertarian or Constitution candidate would be unmistakeable. Good Lord! Why is it so hard to understand that the split vote elected Bill Clinton?
Split it again and maybe you will get Hillary. Or if not Hillary, maybe it will be Kerry who pretended to throw away his medals in an anti-war protest.

Exactly!

I am aware that splitting the vote might elect a Democrat. I am willing to do that if the vote reveals that conservatives abandoned Bush for principled, uncomprimising conservative candidates. As said before, sometimes things have to get worse before they get better (and with a divided government perhaps, in some respects, they might even be better. Tell me: under whose tenure did the budget grow at a greater rate, Clinton or Bush?)
