I voted for Perot, and admittedly in hindsight, I was naive. Of the three candidates, Bill Clinton had my least amount of support (actually none). By voting for R.P., Clinton won with 43% of the vote.

Rush had an interesting take on that election yesterday. He thinks Perot, who had a personal feud with H.W. Bush, never really wanted or intended to win. He just wanted to screw Bush.
The damage Clinton caused with NAFTA was immeasurable - I doubt the country will ever recover from it.
He also essentially wiped out any strategic advantage the U.S. had by selling advanced U.S. missile technology to China. And, another key technological break China received, without having to spy to get it, was the deliverance of supercomputers once banned from export for security reasons.
