When you consider the fact that President Clinton won two elections without ever getting 50% of the vote, you know Perot was his wing man.
In 1992, Clinton beat Bush 43.3% to 37.7%. Perot got 19%. He siphoned off more Republicans than Democrats. Though some liberals liked him, more conservatives went for Perot than liberals.
Clinton would have won in 1996 whether or not Perot was in the race, as he received 49.2% of the vote. But for sure in 1992, it was Perot.
A. is wrong, for Nader took votes from Gore in 2000. And Nader took NO conservative votes with him.
B. is correct.
C. is wrong, as he didn't really split the vote. He was a conservative, but he got less than a half percent. That is not splitting. That is just a minor annoyance.
d. is wrong as Edwards has never been a third-party cnadidate and conservatives won't vote for him.

Ross Perot got something like 13% of the vote, almost all of it was conservatives. The reason Clinton won the first election.

Both Ross Perot and Ralph Nader are guilty.

Ross Perot.
The most recent one to affect the Dem's was a guy named John Anderson.
Nader's always had a weird following from both parties, but I don't remember him having a high enough voter percentage to bother either one.

If Guiliani is the nominee, then it fairly is fairly a lot a threat. no longer if certainly one of the different important applicants get the nomination, like McCain, Romney, or Thompson. Pat Robertson in '88 and 'ninety two? i think of you have gotten Pat Robertson puzzled with Pat Buchanan. Robertson ran for President in '88 yet no longer when you consider that then. Buchanan ran for President in 'ninety two, then 'ninety six, and then as a "0.33 occasion" in '00.

Definitely Perot. He's the one who insured Bill Clinton's presidency.
