Clinton governed centrist, a major criticism of the GOP was that he kept stealing their programs, and Perot supporters were split on which of the two major candidates was their second choice. - Gore had the highest percentage of the vote but was not elected President. Bush after promising to govern in a modest bi-partisan manner governed hard-right and supported the GOP back room deals that have removed any input from the Democratic party.
Doesn't matter, as voters see the two candidates side by side they are making their decisions. My Christian GOP-leaning upper-income sister after watching the two debates has decided to vote for Kerry rather than the angry elitist candidate who can't admit he has made mistakes. . Of course, she is probably basing this on Kerry being taller and looks more presidential.
