3. yes and no
Yes but not with a primary candiate, Perot dropped out in 1992 then came back, and no because I dont know of anyone who dropped out in a primary. BTW I know what youre asking, and I dont see Clark coming back in the race,

5. Didn't Gary Hart

7. Yes he did
Edited on Thu Feb-12-04 09:42 PM by RatTerrier
In '88. Pulled out after the Rice thing, sorted out his personal business, and jumped back in.

"I'm back in the race", he said.

Not very successful, though.
