Reply #33: I think it is hard to make all the assumptions made in this article

First, the idea that all Clinton voters voted for Democratic candidates down ticket and all Bush voters did that for Republicans. I have no earthly idea why that can be necessarily said. Second, elections aren't static. Perot ran an anti Bush campaign. It was anti Bush in both tone and substance. It had the effect of making Bush ran a two sided campaign just like Gore had to do. Third, Perot had virtually no minority support at all, and his supporters were more male than female. I find it very hard to believe, especially in Southern states, that didn't add up to a largely Republican block of voters.
