wasted-vote concept

feisty performance in the final presidential debate. Is gearing
for a strotr.h run designed to convince supporters their votes
won't Ini wasted on Election Day.

30-minute television commercials Inter In the week, and sev
eral loyalists called for him to return to live campaigning if
ho expects to gain ground from his third-place showing in the
polls.
Perot himself expressed concern, at the end of Monday's
debate, that voters might turn away from him simply because
they view the odds as unsurmountahle.
"You’ve got to stop letting these folks in the press tell you
you're throwing your vote away," Perot said "You've got to
start using your own head."
In his stiffesl attacks to date on his opponents, he chided
Bush for contributing to the savings and loan crisis and help
ing build the regimes of Panama's Manuel Noriega and Iraq's
Saddam Hussein before tearing them down And he equated
Clinton's 12 years as governor of Arkansas to the job of run
ning a corner drug store, saying it was "irrelevant" to the
qualifications needed from a presidential candidate
Perot said neither of his opponents' economic plans added
up und blamed both for having foreign lobbyists in their cam
paigns.
"I guess my principal memory of tonight's debate is the
things they ducked and the fact that they sure don't want to
discuss the lobbyist situation because that's where they get
all their money." he said afterward
Supporters reported a surge of callers to phone banks at his
Dallas headquarters and state offices across the nation. The
headquarters phone hank was increased from 4H to 72 lines
