You are Ross Perot, 1992 independent candidate

You have to choose you running mate, instead of course of poor Jim Stockdale. Who's youn choice (assuming this person will say yes)?

Don't think it would make much difference, but with 20/20 hindsight vision, Pat Choate would have been a marginally better candidate for VP in 1992.  Apart from that, all I would need to do is not drop out in the middle of the race and then get back in again after having second thoughts, and I should do very well in the general election.  Not sure I would actually win the thing, but I would stand a better-than-fighting chance of coming in second to whomever comes out on top.

Jeane Kirkpatrick, author of the "Kirkpatrick Doctrine", university professor, member of the National Security Council in the Reagan administration, and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations in the Reagan cabinet 1981-1985.

She brings foreign policy expertise and intellectual heft to the Perot candidacy, both of which Perot was obviously lacking.

Kirkpatrick was an AFL-CIO Democrat who became a Republican in 1985.

Kirkpatrick would have been a unique choice, as she really wasn't a fan of Bush IOTL. From my own Research I would have to say Jerry Brown, as he would reach out to Democratic Voters unsure of Clinton's Republican Lite Mantra. As a balance Geographically, Politcally, and Maverick status would have been a special team up in my opinion.
