None of the leaders on the 1974 list has become President as yet -- but that's not for lack of trying. Twenty years ago, who would have imagined that H. Ross Perot, then a 44-year-old founder of a computer-software company, would win 19% of the vote as a third-party candidate in the 1992 election? George Bush-nemesis Pat Buchanan, a 35-year-old Nixon aide, made the 1974 list, as did presidential aspirants Jack Kemp, then 38 and a two-term Congressman, and Joseph Biden, at 31, the Senate's youngest member. As for perennial presidential...
...forget Ross Perot, who had mixed success with the Republican and Democratic candidates he supported last week. Perot says the Republicans should have a chance to set matters right but suggests he might be back if they don't. And then there is Colin Powell, who distinguished himself in the Haiti negotiations in September and continues to score high in the polls. As a candidate, however, Powell would suddenly face a barrage of questions about issues he's never had to address, not the least of which is what party he belongs to.

...City's mayor may have taken place too soon. Now the race is too close to call. The other race that's unpredictable at this point is the Texas gubernatorial contest. Latest poll numbers showGeorge W. Bushwith a 48-44 edge. Still, as the polling was taking place, Ross Perot endorsed Richards, so her support may jump.Post your opinion on theElection '94bulletin board...
...content with monkeying around with the White House, Ross Perot is making waves in the mid-term Congressional and gubernatorial elections as well -- and his endorsements don't follow a party line. Tomorrow he'll campaign in Washington state for George Nethercutt, the neophyte opponent ofDemocratic House Speaker Tom Foley. His support could actually topple Foley -- who is now in a dead heat, having made up a 10 point deficit in the polls over the last month. But don't accuse Perot of party bias. He's expected Saturday to endorse Independent New York gubernatorial candidate B. Thomas Golisano -- further...
