The conclusion of a four-part series taking a wry look back at past American election battles. After the Gulf War, George Bush was probably the most popular president ever. He faced re-election in the following year, 1992, and victory should have been assured. His democratic opponent,
Bill Clinton , was accused ofwomanising, smoking dope and draft dodging. So why did Bush lose?
Could it have had something to do with the Texan billionaire Ross Perot , who stood as an independent and chose Crazy as his theme song? In the final weekend before this year's presidential election Greg Proops recalls the year that took Clinton to the White House, played out to a soundtrack of the great hits of the day.
