#2 "I don't have any experience in running up a $4 trillion debt. I don't have any experience in gridlock government, where nobody takes responsibility for anything and everybody blames everybody else."

#7 And here I thought it was Bush (No New Taxes) I that took Perot's chances away from winning the White House.

#8 I recall that Ross Perot gave a speech (several actually) where he mentioned "never quit, never ever quit" and made that one of the central feature of his presidential campaign. He then quit!

I lost interest in him after that.
