Don't ever forget to always blame Libertarians!
Loooking at those figures leaves no doubt that Republicans gave Clinton the election. It may be argued that it was Republicans who would have voted for Perot if the Libertarians had nominated him, but in the end, it was Ross who was responsible. The crazy thing he did was to pull out of the race after the Democrats nominated Clinton. Did he think that Clinton really was a southern moderate? or was he just so angry at Bush that he thought Clinton could beat him? When he found out that Clinton could not win a two-man race, he sure jumped back in.
