We ran out of time in our last episode but felt that both of these segments were worthy of being chronicled in our series looking back at the 1992 election.
The first is the full press conference of Ross Perot as he withdrew from the 1992 election. It was a move that to this day makes no sense to me as to why he did it. He had been in first place and while he had slipped in the polls he was still in a stronger position than he would ever see again prior to this early withdrawal from the race. You will listen in at his reasoning at the time in his Press conference announcing his withdrawal.
Then we will return to the convention hall on that final day and during a break in the action on the convention floor we will listen to a panel discussion that will feature every unsuccessful Democratic nominee over the past 22 years up to that point. It is a fascinating discussion featuring reporters and commentators Robert McNeil, Jim Lehrer, Mark Shields, David Gergen and former Democratic Presidential nominees, Senator George McGovern from 1972, Former Vice President Walter Mondale who was on the national ticket as VP in 1976, 1980- and the nominee in 1984, and Massachusetts former Governor and 1988 Nominee Michael Dukakis. It is a must listen to panel discussion from a set of true history makers.
