2. Oh come on
Perot went from 19% in '92 to 8% in '96 and in '08 that crazy bastard will be lucky to get 2%. What will he be then 80?

3. Let's get Zell to run as a new party 'Dixiecrat' or he can revive
George Wallace's old third party. I'm sure he'd get as many votes as Perot managed to reap in 1992.

4. That's not what Perot did
Perot didn't do well at all in the South, outside of his home state. The South was just much more Democratic in '92 and to a lesser extent, '96, than it is now.

6. not perot, but someone like him may well emerge
the republicans have been, and can be split. bush will have a tough time pleasing both the theocrats and the more secular "tax cut" repblicans for the next four years.
