Well Ross Perot also in the 1992 election But, as in most things in life, you can't isolate one of many factors and draw conclusions about causation. That is, was there ANYTHING else about Paul and Perot that contributed to their losses? I think a lot. Some day -- a candidate will have the whole package -- and the courage to tell the truth about the budget deficits, national debt, foreign holds of debt, greenhouse gases and climate change, the need for energy independence and a REAL plan to achieve it, social security, medicare, etc ... Today we still are in the land of timid little sheep politicians. Some are a bit braver than others. But still sheep, not lions. Maybe when the public is educated sufficiently to understand it -- then the message will not be all dumbed down to 10 seconds sound bits -- and winks. And America (or its successors) will seriously look to competence, vision, integrity, facts and courage to tell them. And to proactively paint a real vision of the future -- not a reaction to polls.
