I think you guys are really badly under estimating the anti-main party feeling of '92.

curious: why would Perot win NJ but not PA and VT, which barely went Bush in 1988 (he won by less than 3 and 4, respectively)? Or WV, which Dukakis won? me, I think the map woulda been very similar to Clinton's, if not identical.

Perot is very different in terms of appeal to voters in those areas than Clinton or Dukakis.

Rocky Anderson, Dennis Kucinich, Gary Johnson, and Judith Dean were not even politicians at that point-in the laters case, they were not in politics at all.

Precisely. It's the famous third party politicians of today before they became famous. Perhaps Goldwater, Jr. takes the Libertarian Party nomination.

Also, Kucinich had been Mayor of Cleveland.
