How did Perot get so much support?

[Podgy the Bear]

It was a great shame that Stockdale became an object of such ridicule considering he was one of the greatest war heroes to run for Prez/VP (as was George McGovern). It is true that he had no business being in the debate, however.

Ironic that as of late, our acclaimed war hero candidates (McGovern, McCain, Dole, Stockdale, Kerry, etc.) don't make much traction come Election Day and (except for McGovern) lose to the antiwar/"draft dodger" candidate...
