Close so far, but it looks like the decision will be made at the convention. Absent an earthquake neither Tsongas nor Kerry will have the majority, the Brown delegates may vote for Brown on the first ballot or two, and some of them may be bound to do so unless the candidate has withdrawn (Harkin has, Brown suspended campaign). Then there are the superdelegates as well. It will be interesting.

Isn't Atwater dead by now?
Or whoever the Bush guru is.

Brown only has a handful. Same goes for Harkin. Kerrey has momentum.

President Bush knew Dan Quayle was a liability. He knew moderates would jump to Perot if he kept Quayle around, but he also worried about the hardline social conservatives who still liked the youthful VP. In secret, he decided to have his aides draft a shortlist, in the event he decided to replace Quayle.

George Bush's Vice-Presidential Shortlist, 1992
Vice President Dan Quayle (IN)

Sen. Bob Dole (KS)
Sen. Connie Mack III (FL)
Sen. Al D'Amato (NY)
Sen. Warren Rudman (NH)
Sen. John McCain (AZ)

Former Secretary of HUD Jack Kemp (NY)
Former Secretary of Education Elizabeth Dole (KS)

here's my prediction

Perot/Brown
vs Kerrey/Gore vs Bush/Quayle

the result is nobody reaches 270 to win but Perot manages to get a plurality on the popular vote, what happens from there is up to OP

OK, hint time.
Perot- A man who believes our democracy needs serious reform from the northeast. Member of a Minority group. You wouldn't think him the type to team up with a man of Perot's background.
Kerrey- Upper South. Famous name, but not from the family that made it famous.
Bush- Take me out to the ball game/take me out to the crowd/buy me some peanuts and crackerjack/I don't care if we ever get back!

Boston Globe, March 18th, 1992
Paul Tsongas, citing fading support both in the polls and among Superdelegates, dropped out of the Presidential Race yesterday evening, leaving Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party. This marks a break from the bitter, divided Democratic Primaries in 1984 and 1988. Said Tsongas: "Bob Kerrey will make an excellent President. I wish him the best."
