In 1992, Clinton garnered only 43% of the vote. It's pathetic that a
President can be elected with such a low percentage of the population
supporting him. There was plenty of anti-Bush sentiment that year, but I
doubt many of the Perot supporters would have cast their votes for Clinton
if Perot wasn't in the race. Most would have either stayed home, or voted
for Bush as the lesser of two evils (at least in their minds). This year,
there is no viable alternative to the incumbent...and Kerry hasn't done
anything to help his own chances. I still predict a Bush win by 4 to 6
percentage points.


Well, I see even you think the race is getting closer. Your prediction is
down from a 5-7% landslide. ;-)

Still, my guess is it's going to be considerable closer. Close enough
that we may not know the winner on Nov. 3.
