1992  presented one of the most unusual, exciting, and important elections of modern American history. After 12 consecutive years of Republican presidents, the upstart from Arkansas came out of nowhere to unseat a patrician president. Add to the next the involvement of a dynamic, controversial, and unbelievably wealthy third-party candidate, Ross Perot, and you have the makings of an election that  is endlessly fascinating.

It’s nearest comparison would be the three-way election of 1912 that saw Woodrow Wilson split the votes of Republican voters and capture the presidency for the Democrats after having been out of office for many years.
