Well, they were "crawling out of the woodwork" like the cockroaches they are. However, your memory fails you. The 1992 election was less than a year and a half after the ground war ended in the first Gulf war. Bush's approval rating exceeded 90%, and it remained high for months. By the time the economy really began to falter it was primary season. Lots of prominent Democrats opted out because at the time they had to make the decision to run and start raising money it was assumed that Bush would easily win a second term. Clinton was merely the most popular if a sub-par field.
Don't try to argue history if you don't know what the hell you are talking about.

Uh--- I do, dood. I was involved in it. No such "assumption" existed; Bush was unpopular by the beginning of '92; whatever he had built up with Iraq I was gone. You had Clinton, Tsongas, Kerrey, Harkin, Brown and a couple of others all vying with each other for a shot at him. I was there dood. I lived in northern New England and got involved in New Hampshire. Don't come in here unarmed, Junior. You're outta your
league.
Ha ha ha...you really got me there, "dood". However, if we are going to be accurate here, and please do not feel the need to do so on my account since you are so fond of not doing so, the primaries began, I believe, in early February of 1992. By that point campaign fundraising was well underway. In reality, a viable candidate would have had to get qualified in each state and begin raising significant money way back into the summer if 1991 in order to run. This was, again, when Bush was at his height in popularity. People like Harkin were lower rung Dems at best. Paul Tsongas? Personally, I liked him. He was a good man. If I remember correctly he won New Hampshire during the primaries. However, he was still a second or third tier candidate at best.
Thus, you are clearly wrong. Clinton and the rest of the Dem field in 1992 were hacks. Nobody worth a shit bothered to qualify because at the time it seemed that there was no point. Then, public opinion turned on Bush. However, by that time the campaign season was in full swing and it was too late for anyone else to qualify and raise funds to run.
You are one dumb ******. The facts are what they are. I have had this debate numerous times over the years with many people who both liked and disliked Trailer Park Bill. It is common knowledge. You are not remembering it correctly. Either you are too stupid to remember it correctly or you spent too much time getting high back then.
