	Actually, George finished second, behind Perot.  Although the media
(and you) would like us to believe otherwise.  The commentary by the media (and
you) after the debate was pathetic.

	Perot clearly stomped all over both Bush and Clinton.  Clinton kept
attacking Bush.  Bush fared better by at least stating what he was for/against.

	My wife had the joke of the day: when Clinton was doing his academy
award stint by thanking everyone in the US individually, he said "...and all
the people who have touched me during this campaign..."

	Whereupon my wife interjected: "and what was her name???"
:D brought down the house.

	Bill Clinton offered attacks against Clinton and sucking up to Perot. 
Except for his "it's not that simple", after which he proceded to state that
he, someone who has never been in congress, knew more about the process than
Perot, who has had to deal with congress many times.

	Capital gains tax cuts, indexing them for inflation, reducing spending,
NAFTA, ... He has offered ideas.  I'm sure you reject all of them, but that
doesn't make it so.

	The #4 reason to no elect you two clowns: we are not in a recession. 
If you can't tell the difference, then you don't deserve to be in the White
House, much less the Senate.  And you ridicule Quayle for his spelling!

	A plan?  Spenddddddddddd.   Taxxxxxxxxxx.  Been there, done that.  It
doesn't work.

	Face it, Perot stomped you guys.  The media will say differently over
the next couple of days, but the people aren't listening to the media.  (The
media hasn't even figured out why it's polls aren't working.)
