Possibly, I'll say the most legitimizing thing about his 1992 run was how efficiently the status quo parties were in making sure 3rd party candidates weren't given TV time or a place on the debate stage.  Then again, it almost seems like the two major parties could now send debates the way of the dodo.  Ah well.

I was in 5th grade in 1992 and I remember our desks having cutout pictures and "campaign signs" for the candidates we wanted and I had a Ross Perot one.  Most of the kids in the class wanted Bush, my parents wanted Clinton, but me?  Well, I was always a pain in the ass I guess.
