Why did Perot take himself out of the 92 campaign for a month? Was it because he was rising in the polls and did not really want to be president?

      Good question.  It did seem like his level of success scared him.  Perot had my vote until he chickened out, and when he reentered the race he still left a bad taste.

That depends on which Perot story you believe. Perot is an enormous egotist, never wrong, and a tad bit paranoid.

If I remember correctly, at a rally, Perot responded to a young black man's question. Perot said something to the effect of- My people and your people share the shame...-
The young black man quickly interjected saying "My People?"
And got really upset. Perot realized that he had flubbed and
tried to talk his way out of what he had just said.
The next day he withdrew his candidacy saying the Bush camp was trying to smear his daughter. I think he withdrew to avoid further scrutiny and questions about race relation.
