Bill Clinton was elected because Ross Perot received so many “3rd party” votes. Simple fact of history.

I don't think this analysis, though common, is necessarily true. BC understands the typical American voter better than most Republicans do: he "feels their pain," and they are too ignorant to see through his chicanery. They just knew to vote "D" to get rid of GHWB, whom they blamed for a "bad economy".

I agree with you.
