So he took part in '92, but not in '96?  I have a vague recollection that 
he ran for president both times, and that Clinton, as a result, won the 
presidency but never had a clear majority of the popular vote.  (If memory 
serves, Bush's re-election in '04 marked the first time that someone had 
won more than 50% of the vote since his dad won the election in '88.)
