Exit polling has proven to be incredibly unreliable. Perot's message attracted disaffected conservatives and fell flat with Leftists.

But by all means vote your conscience, if it makes you feel better and elects an Obamabeast.

It wasn't just exit polling. There has been a TON of analysis (by both sides) on "who Perot favored," and biographers of both Bush and Clinton concluded it was an even split.

The only thing you can possibly blame Perot for is that, by and large, he criticized Bush more than Clinton, and his presence largely took the spotlight off Clinton's sexual scandals that MAY (I emphasize may) have gotten some press attention. But that's doubtful.

But if right now I could trade Bush (whom I love) and a Dem House/Senate/statehouses/governors for Clinton and the 1994-1995 GOP House and the energy and idealism of that period, I'd do it in a minute. Aside from the WoT (big aside, I know), we got more accomplished as a majority in the House, even without the Senate, than we did by owning all three branches of government.

Perot voters have convinced themselves that their vote for Perot did not get us 8 years of clinton, but we know better. It is the only way they can live with themselves. I know both Republicans and democrats and NONE of the democrats voted for Perot. With the young stud clinton out there do you think democrats were going to vote for little wormy Perot?
