I did not especially care for Bush 1 or Dole. But look at the vote totals, and who voted for Perot. More would have voted for R than D. Clinton never had over 50%.

This still points to the fact that the RP ran crappy candidates. Had they ran someone that people could have got excited about, they would have won. When was the last time you saw an ad campaign that instead of claiming the product was great, just said that all the other competitors stuff was crap? I see Republicrats do this all the time. "Vote for me because I am not a Dem!" and then they wonder why voters did not turn out for them. You don't succeed in any type of market by claiming to be the lesser of two evils.
