The most interesting number to me was 5%, the amount the Libertarian got. I'd think that would concern the GOP. If Libertarians run in many elections, if people stay home because there isn't a Libertarian, or some combination therein, that could hurt the party.

You can't say that for certain..

If libertarians want more of the same they will run candidates. Maybe the DNC will help sponsor their campaigns. I know, it sucks that right now the only viable alternative to a democrat is a republican but that is the facts. I voted for Perot who had a chance until he went somewhat nuts and he still did well. But it handed the presidency to the wrong side.

Perot voters may well have just stayed at home, voted for another candidate or for Clinton out of spite.
It's hard enough to try and read the mind of someone sitting across from you, let alone those of 19% of the electorate.You can't say that for certain.If libertarians want more of the same they will run candidates.

True but, we who voted for Perot were the patriots who would never shirk their duty and not vote.But even if half stayed home and the other half would have voted Republican, Bush wins. Perot took almost 19 percent of the vote, Clinton won by 6 percent.
Quit giving people the "choice" between smallpox and bubonic plague.When people stay home and not vote out of spite, they are doing more damage to our democracy than either of the parties put together in Washington. Get out and vote!

Even though it is plausible to say that Bush41 would have won in 1992, there is just no way to really prove it to any degree of certainty.
No, I wasn't too young.

I assume you too young to have voted then, and that is not an insult. But, in my opinion, those leaning democrat voted democrat those fed up voted for Perot in protest. So as you say they may have stayed home but I don't think they would have voted for Clinton.
