President Forever 2008 and Primaries-1992 Bush vs Dem vs Perot

[GPORTER]

Some interesting three way races.

Bush/Quayle vs Clinton/Bensten vs Perot/Stockdale


Bush wins big and one surprise is that Clinton did so poorly in Texas. Bush took Texas by fourteen points. But, the big Clinton deal in Texas is that he had Bensten on the ticket but he came in third in the state of Texas.

Here is another one

Bush vs Clinton vs Perot


Perot does very well as he carries sixteen states. However, some of his victories are by small margins. One imparticular being Nebraska where he won by 177 votes out of more than 700, 000 cast. Other states, however, like Minnesota and Washington...he wins by ten points in Minnesota and by about three points in Washington.

Bush still wins however.

Perot continues to perform well for a third party candidate.

Tsonagus vs Bush vs Perot


Tsonagus: 286 electoral votes; 40, 034, 419 or 36.4% of popular vote
Bush: 172 electoral votes; 39, 011, 770 or 35.4% of popular vote
Perot: 80 electoral votes; 31, 050, 675 or 28.2% of popular vote
270 electoral votes to win

A surprise to me was that Perot carried Missouri and he came within six points of Bush in Texas. Another surprise was that Tsonagus almost lost his home state to Perot.

Gephardt vs Bush vs Perot


In this one, the strong Perot showing failed to materialize as he carried only five states compared to sixteen or seventeen in other times.
