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!
The original hints.
 
President George H.W. Bush (R-TX)/HUD Secretary Jack Kemp (R-NY)
Senator Bob Kerrey (D-NE)/Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV)
Ross Perot (I-TX)/Senator Paul Tsongas (I-MA)

New York Times- 4/10/1992
After 13 years in the wilderness, plagued by division and radicalism, the Labour party won the UK general election yesterday. Labour Leader Neil Kinnock is expected to meet the Queen today and ask for permission to form a government. Though Labour is one seat short of a majority, observers expect the centrist Liberal Democrats to be willing to uphold Labour budgets.
The Seat Count is as follows:
Labour: 325
Conservative: 275
Liberal Democrat: 26
SNP: 4
Plaid Cymru: 4

Dan Quayle today announced he would retire from the Vice Presidency next January, at the end of his first term. President Bush is expected to name his replacement within the next month. Many observers believe Bush pressured Quayle to leave, tired of Quayle's constant gaffes. Bush's approval rating increased by five points following this development.

Yesterday, Sen. Bob Kerrey announced that West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller would be his running mate.
Washington Post, 7/5/1992
Yesterday, President Bush announced that Sen Connie Mack III would be his running mate, replacing the retiring Dan Quayle.
Houston Chronicle, 7/7/1992
H. Ross Perot announced yesterday that his running mate would be Vermont Representative and former Burlington mayor Bernard Sanders. This was a surprise to many, as Sanders is a self-proclaimed socialist, but Perot stated "Bernie was an excellent mayor and he's a good representative, and he's been going against the Democratic and Republican machines his whole life." Said Sanders "I disagree with Ross on a lot of things, and he would tell you that himself, but he is the only candidate who realizes our democracy needs huge changes."
 
And here I thought this was going to be a wrestling time line. Can we still have Ric Flair? Independent candidate from North Carolina.

Flair/Anderson

"I will be, the greatest, limo riding, jet flying, wheeling and dealing, president of all time! Whhhoooooooooooo!"
