Perot Campaign Commercial 1992

Independent candidate Ross Perot appeared in a 30 minute political campaign commercial to be aired on network television during the final weekend before the election. Mr. Perot sat at a desk and pointed at various graphs with his “voodoo stick,” which now featured an artificial alligator claw on one end. During the commercial, Mr. Perot criticized the performance of Democratic presidential nominee Gov. Bill Clinton as governor of Arkansas. At one point, he pointed to a picture of a chicken and stated that Gov. Clinton’s policies in Arkansas, applied to the country as a whole, would have the U.S. population plucking chickens for a living. close
