Oh, good. The third party nut cases gave us Bill Clinton when they voted for Ross The Nut Perot.

George HW Bush was responsible for Perot. He and his minions ran a terrible campaign, and Bush 41 didn't take an interest in his own re-election until it was too late.

While a popular argument, this doesn't really stand close scrutiny. If Perot hadn't been in the race, given the way the "coming back home" vote split between the Ds and the Rs in 1996, it is pretty likely that Bush I would have won reelection in 1992, despite his failings.

Not to mention the famous "read my lips" statement.
