I've seen the absolutely ridiculous Perot-Trump comparison a thousand times, used in conjunction with the Perot spoiler myth (which few in MSM have rebutted yet) but it made me think: if Perot had run for the Democratic nomination in 1992, not too crazy because he polled well among Dem primary voters (a lotta Tsongas guys), most of his views were left of center http://www.ontheissues.org/Ross_Perot.htm  and because it was the party opposite a president (Bush) who in 1992 had Jimmy Carter's 1980 approval ratings, how would that election turned out? Or if Clinton had put him on the ticket?

I'm sorry, its been a while since I've been here, and I forgot how to embed links, and I also shoulda put this as a "past what-if?"

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.
