Title: Bush / Perot 92
Post by: Jerseyrules on August 16, 2012, 02:08:55 AM
Either Perot or Powell is tapped for VP, and either way Perot offers Bush his support.  Economy is doing alright, with unemployment decreasing.  What happens?  Unemployment is 6.5% on election day, discuss with maps.

Starting my map, I fully expected Clinton to get creamed. With that being said, here's the result:

Clinton - 270
Bush - 268

Really?  I thought you meant if Perot ran as the Democratic nominee.

Powell would have been a game-changer for Bush.  Perot would never have been VP, never, ever.

The only thing that could have beaten Bush under those circumstances would have been a 3rd party conservative insurgency of folks peeved about the dumping of Quayle.  Bush should have dumped Quayle, but he didn't want the flak.
