It must be remembered that beside Bush defeating himself by ‘read my lips’ etc, his personal demon, a vindictive enemy named Ross Perot was what kept Bush from defeating Clinton. Bush would have won handily without Perot.

I forgot about the hand grenade with a bad haircut, as Limbaugh was wont to call him.

If Bush hadn't broken that promise, there would have been no substantial movement towards Ross Perot.
I looked at Ross Perot precisely because Bush broke his promise. I wanted him out. I think others felt the same way.
Bush created the Ross Perot phenomena.

Wasn’t there an indictment of Casper Winberger (sec Def) a couple weeks before the election when Bush had moved up almost even with Clinton. The polls flattened out, Clinton won, and the indictment was dropped. Everyone forgets this.
