Perot for President?
How about firing up the Reform party or some other third party to steal Bush votes. Didn't Perot have a hand in unseating Daddy Bush? If any conservative third party would run, I would certainly give support to get the ball rolling, and then vote for Dean or Clark. :)

your thoughts on this plan:

4. Perot took from Clinton and the GOP almost equally
he was not a right-winger. Did you ever bother to look at his platform before believing the RW talking point that Perot gave Clinton the election(s)?

10. ok, cool
I understand your premise, but I don't have any belief that Bush is going to face any real signifigant threat from the right.

The only way we're going to beat him is to nominate a strong candidate. And the only ones in the running are Clark, Edwards, and Kerry

9. Perot mey end up proven a hypocrite.
He endorsed Bush in 2000, but I recall that Perot hates deficits. Why isn't Perot questioning the record deficts of Bush II?
