While there is no evidence yet that Perot's spurt will turn into a surge, "I'm not ready to say that this guy is just a blip on the screen," Buchanan said.
Don't dismiss Perot, analysts say
WASHINGTON — In an election year filled with surprises, Ross Perot's strong showing in the first debate could alter electoral dynamics once again, analysts and strategists of both parties suggested yesterday.
The Associated Press
"He can take a lot of votes out of Bush's hide, especially if Bush no longer looks like a viable candidate," Garin said.
No one expects the Texan to win. But his homily filled straight talk could translate into a spurt of support that makes a difference to President Bush and Bill Clinton in individual states.
The Dallas billionaire could become a "resting place for disenchanced Republicans" who would otherwise vote for Bush but see the president's chances as hopeless, said Democratic polster Geoff Garin.
Perot's humor came across as refreshing and novel to many viewers, but those who have followed Perot's career recognized many of his lines, including a quip about being "all ears," as ones he uses frequently. Of his less enduring conviction
Last night's vice presidential debate gave voters another chance to take a look at the Perot-Stockdale ticket
And, political observers suggested, since expectations were low for retired Adam. James Stockdale, a credible performance by the Vietnam prisoner of war-turned-scholar could further pique interest in Perot.
Whether Perot can maintain voter interest is unknown.
An estimated audience of 16 million watched Perot's first 30-minute commercial. And, several polls suggested that viewers believed Perot to be the winner of the first debate.
COURSE PASSING enforcing qualities critics say arrogance and irrescibility could surface in the remaining two debates.
Some analysts said Perot could deliver the coup de grace to Bush and hand an electoral landslide to Democrat Clinton.
Third-party candidates usually fare
performance—he exceeded expectations," said University of Texas political scientist Bruce Buchanan.
worse in elections than they do in polls because, in the end, voters don't want to throw away their votes.
But, if Clinton retains a double-digit lead in the polls over Bush, many voters who don't like either Bush or Clinton may feel they have nothing to lose by casting a protest vote for Perot.
"The minute it looks like Bush may not win, a significant amount of his vote may fold and go into another camp or stay home," said Frank Luntz, a GOP pollster who worked for Perot last spring and summer.
Nearly all observers agree that Perot can hurt Bush the easiest in Texas, the state both of them claim as his own. The state for the president with its $16 billion budget.
"No longer can you say that Perot will just fade away," Luntz continued. He said Bush, dropping to the high 30s in some recent major polls, "has already dropped below the base Republican vote of 41 percent."
Conventional political wisdom relegated Perot to a trivial status even after his Oct. 1 re-entry. "But what I've seen is that on two big events — his half-hour commercial and the debate
But analysts have misjudged Perot before.
And the true significance of the Perot factor remains hard to compute.
Conventional thinking also suggests that Perot's renaissance could hurt Clinton more than Bush in states such as California and the industrial Midwest. But Clinton already has such large leads in California and Illinois, Michigan and Ohio that he might be unaffected.
Bush brings message to column
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — In times of trouble, whom can a president trust?
It's a family matter.
"Dear Ann Landers," his letter begins.
But it turns out to be families in general that are the concern, not just President Bush's. And he's not seeking counsel from the nation's No. 1 advice columnist.
Bush's letter, scheduled to appear in Landers' column Sunday, is in answer to her column recently on his veto of family-leave legislation. It's not surprising that he noticed it — she asked all readers who want to promote justice and family values to cut out the column and send it to the White House.
The president tells Llanders in his letter that he was disappointed to see that it told only one side of the story.
Bush says he does support the idea of family leave, in which a person can take time off from work to care for a newborn or recently adopted child or a sick relative. He just can't accept the idea of the government requiring businesses to provide such leave.
"My alternative approach is to provide an incentive tax
credit for all small- and medium-sized businesses, those with 500 or fewer employees," Bush's letter said "My tax credit encourages companies to adopt family-leave policies."
Landers thanked Bush for the letter and added that it made a great deal of sense to her. However, she also solicited and printed the views of Sen. Paul Simon, D-III., who heads the Senate subcommittee on employment and productivity.
Simon said Bush's alternative wouldn't assure family leave would be given.
Mary Ellen Glynn, Illinois press secretary for Clinton, called Bush's letter a desperation tactic to get re-elected, but Ross Perot's camp didn't take it quite so seriously.
"It's a novel approach," said Clayton Mulford, Perot's general counsel. Perot is too busy with the debates to be thinking about such letters, but he might respond in the future, he said.
The column written by Landers, based in Chicago, is printed in about 1,200 newspapers, an assistant said. The White House wouldn't venture a guess on how many clipped-out Landers columns it had received.
