It's also the third largest political party in the country.
Also untrue, the Reform party is a considerably more significant force.
Third Largest != third most significant force. Most people who vote Perot are either Repubs or Democrats, not "Reform Party" members. In the 2000 election, were there are no incumbents, Perot's numers will be about the same as the Libertarians, and if Perot doesn't make the ballot (either death or too sick) the reform party won't even be on the map. Perot doesn't have that many supporters, just more people who have heard of him, so when they get to the Voting Booth, they looked an Clinton and almost threw up, then looked at Dole, but couldn't get their hand to their nose, so they punched the next name they recognized.
