It’s really kind of sad. Back in 1992, before the first time Perot freaked out about government aliens abducting his daughter’s wedding or whatnot, they actually had a lot of potential. Remember when Perot was breifly actually the frontrunner in 1992? Then he just sort of tossed that down the drain. And everything after 1992 has just been a complete sideshow. Oh well. Maybe in another few years we’ll have another opportunity at a serious third party.
Reform Party: No Perot, no Jesse, no Pat, no funds

The remnants of the Reform Party — the official Reform Party, as there are now several different strains — gathered in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, last weekend. Nobody much paid attention; even the local Mississippi papers didn’t write about it.
