In Minnesota, where Jesse Ventura rode Ross Perot's coattails to the governorship, the portion of the electorate who voted for Perot was almost exclusively Republican, and there are numbers here to prove the connection.

I think Rigs has it. Perot had a personal vendetta against Bush I. That is what his whole candidacy was about.

Jesse Ventura had a personal vendetta going against the Establishment in general, yet didn't pull the "traditional" anti-establishment types (who lean far left and far right in the US political spectrum). He pulled in the disgruntled Libertarian/Republican right, just like Perot.
