Regardless, the 37% was impacted by Perot. NINETEEN PER CENT of VOTERS voted for Perot in 1992. As 1 person who voted for Perot, I can say that I voted for Perot because George Bush and his “no new taxes” pledge violation ruined him when it came to reelection.

But your definition of the Perot voters as the "starting gun" is a false & arbitrary one. A bigger factor than the "37%" being impacted by Perot is the 19% who were impacted by the Bush negatives--including the "no new taxes" pledge. (Otherwise you can never blame an election loss on the actual losing candidate--it's always the voters fault in your eyes)

It is generally the voters fault when a candidate loses, and not just in my eyes.
