"I don't think Ross Perot is running this time..... "

Well, Nader might, but he sure won't draw anywhere near the number of votes he did last time.

Or had you forgotten Nader ran last time and drew away a whole lot of votes kind of sort of exactly the way Perot did? Perhaps not as many, but them margin in Bush V. Gore was way smaller. Way, way, smaller. n fact, Gore had more votes. Whereas Clinton beat Bush by a comfortable, clear, undeniable margin in both the popular vote and the elctoral college.
