I don't exactly think that Perot used him, but it sure looked that way. Medal of Honor. RIP and peace to his family.

If I recall, Perot listed Stockdale as his running mate as a place holder when originally filing his paper work, intending to replace him later.

When Perot dropped out of the race and then got back in, it was too late to change his running mate and so Stockdale remained on the ticket.
