Remind media and voters that Ross Perot endorsed George W Bush in 2000:

Ross Perot endorsing George W Bush:
<<<I have looked very carefully at the two candidates that can win, and in my opinion, one candidate has a significant advantage over the other. First off, let me remind all of you that being a legislator is quite different from being a president. People in the House and Senate pass laws. The person in the White House has to administer and enforce those laws and be responsible for our armed forces and a thousand other things.

I would ask all of you to ask yourselves, which of these two candidates do I believe will surround himself with the most talented team of advisers, because nobody in the world is smart enough to do this by himself. And we need the "A Team" in all of those Cabinet positions and all of those senior-level positions.

And then ask yourself, which one of these people has really demonstrated, in office, honor and integrity, and has not done squirrely things and has not in any way misrepresented facts.>>>>

Ross Perot is a POOR JUDGE OF CHARACTER and has no grasp of the facts.
