He's Back!!!!
After a nearly three month absence in the 1992 Presidential race, Ross Perot decides to jump back in to the race. The truth is he probably never really ever left it. All I can say about whomever's tactical decision it was to have him withdraw in the first place needed to have their head examined. It ranks, in my opinion, as one of the stupidest decisions in the history of campaign politics. The fact is he could have won instead he would prove to be a dramatic spoiler, at least for George Bush.
The debate is still out as to what would have happened had Perot not been in the 1992 race. Some experts say the polling does not back up the assertion that he cost Bush the election, I don;'t know the answer to that, I tend to think it was one of many mountains Bush needed to climb but I still blame the Special Prosecutor for tanking the 1992 Bush campaign. (but that is for a later episode) But still, Perot went from being a potential winner to gargantuan nuisance.
In this episode we look at Perot's dramatic reentry, and we preview the historic three way debates that would so captivate the nation bringing in big ratings over the next couple of weeks. We will let you hear one of them in its entirety too in our next episode.
