It's the Ross Perot voters again.

Rasmussen reports that the number of people calling themselves Republicans has sunk. My intuition tells me the ones who have changed are the same ones who jumped on the Perot wagon in 1992 and 1996. There is a segment of each party who get mad about something and then either stay home or throw their votes away on splinter parties. That seems to be the Republicans bane this year. I wouldn't take too much comfort from this if I were a Democrat. They haven't shown that they understand our problems any better than the Repubs or have any new approaches. The voters always have limited attention spans, sadly. But a swinging pendulum is probably for the best in the long run.
