“He has no chance so its a waste. But a fool and his money is easily parted.”

True. Ross Perot spent an estimated 60 Million of his own money and he could not win a single state. And Perot was much more appealing to the average Joe six-pack voter than the anti-war candidate Ron Paul.

I don’t think Perot wanted to win, he wanted to keep George Bush from winning and he did. If he had really wanted to win he would not have dropped out and he would have picked another VP instead of that senile old man.

How anyone could take that team seriously is beyond me but lots of people did, enough to elect clinton. I know it is hard to imagine spending 60 million of his own money (your figure) on a vendetta, but I think that is exactly what he did. George Bush the elder embarrassed him by rebuffing his desires to join his administration so he fixed George I.

He probably made the 60 million back many times over, in payback from clinton.

Had Perot gotten in, than as he was gaining in some polls, bowed out because he said his daughter’s life was threatened by the powers that be (paraphrasing), then jumped back in...

Who knows what would have happend if he had just stayed in.

As far as waste of money comment, I hope all that have given and will give to Rudy find out just what that comment means. Add McCain, Obama, Hillary and all the other nitwits in this race.
