Yeah, right. Perot got rich selling data processing to Federal and state programs (yup, like Welfare). Many of these deals were hatched in the backroom, using the same sort of contributions he is now supposedly so shocked by. His prosperity is a direct reflection of his ability manipulate government contracting practices and overcharge us for services rendered. And he was such a diplomat and reasonable fellow to work with that GM had to run him off. Besides being aptly described as a nut (come on, look at his paranoid shenanigans last year), there is no evidence that Perot knows anything about building a consensus or working with anyone. Just look how that "party" is run. I'd vote for Dole first, and I ain't voting for Dole. At least Dole has shown himself to be reasonable, intelligent and competent. Even if he is too antiprogressive for me. I had the opportunity to chat with a former commanding officer of his from the Navy days. That retired USN captain voted for Clinton. -- These are *my* opinions. Chris White chris_white@mail.utexas.edu
