"The worst prediction, George H.W Bush's 1992 re-election effort, was about four percent off, and inaccurately predicted Bush as the winner."

Didn't some dem judge or somebody indict a high ranking Bush official a few days before the election? This could account for this miss.

Yeah, they indicted former Secretary of State Al Haig! But the real reason the model blew the 92 race was Ross Perot's historic showing for a third party, drawing disproportionately from 41. Without Perot, Clinton would have remained a little-know governor from a small southern state. His ignominious place in history is safe, as is a warm place after he leaves this earth. Perot, that is.

No, they "revealed" the Presdient's DUI as a young man, which completely covered up the news that the Gore computer analysis showed that he KNEW he was going to a Buddhist Temple fundraiser.

But the media cooperated with the Dims, as usual, and only played the DUI story and the Gore computer memos never saw the light of day. I know because I put up a thread on FR about the analysis of Gore's memos - and that thread only got about 30 posts here at FR. Even FR was focussing on the DUI and the terrible consequences for the President.

I question the timing should have been used then - and we ALL should have written letters, made telephone calls to all the tv/cable stations about the Gore memos. We could have turned it around - but no one seemed willing to be that pro-active for the then-Governor of Texas.

Another thing. We need to have Republicans volunteer to go into strictly Demonrat polling places that when they announce their counts late, it isn't because they've thrown in 20,000 dead votes. I'm serious.

Nixon would have won in his first race if he had contested the election for it was well-know that there was chicanery at the polling places of numerous states. BUT NIXON DIDN'T WANT TO PUT THE COUNTRY THROUGH THAT. OTOH, Gore didn't care and did it to us for 35 stinking days.
