[quote:Anonymous Coward 354379:MV80ODc4MzNfRkI1REQzM0U=] Ross Perot the man who chose Clinton as president by dividing Bush Sr. base. In the 1992 election, he received 18.9% of the popular vote - approximately 19,741,065 votes Perot managed to finish second in two states: In Maine, Perot received 30.44% of the vote to Bush's 30.39% (Clinton won Maine with 38.77%); In Utah, Perot received 27.34% of the vote to Clinton's 24.65% (Bush won Utah with 43.36%). What this boils down to is Perot was able to pull enough votes from Bush to allow Clinton to become president. If Paul fails to get the republican nomination and decides to run as an independent he would effectively sway the election to the democratic base. If Hillary gets the democratic nomination and wins because of a divided republican base we will have twenty four years of american government ruled by the same two families.
