Thanks for the good correction re: Clinton. In the heat of writing, I guess style can sometimes eclipse substance.

I will quibble back and say Clinton’s 49.2% vs. 40.7% victory in 1996 was decisive enough that, if all 8.4% of Perot’s voters had gone Dole’s way, Clinton still would have won a plurality of the popular vote.

Please note that I am not saying that makes him a good president.

Thanks, –Brad
