WASHINGTON, D.C.: Languishing in the polls and turned down by at least three potential vice-presidential candidates, Ross Perot reportedly has settled on political economist and anti-trade author Pat Choate as his running mate.

And why didn't the former Colorado Governor or his daughter receive ballots until Perot interceded? Perot aides say Lamm didn't get a ballot because his handwriting on a petition was illegible. They assert the balloting was honest and overseen by an independent auditor. Lamm doesn't accuse Perot of stealing the nomination.
