It is time to kick off the fall campaign. In this first month of campaigning we get the only time the two principles in the race faced each other head to head. Ross Perot would rejoin the fray in October. So, in the next few episodes we let you watch the 1992 campaign unfold between President George H. W. Bush and Governor Bill Clinton, in the only time period in which they had the stage to themselves.
Bill Clinton will start out with a commanding lead over Bush but it is a lead that continues to shrink with every passing day. Having brought James Baker back in to manage the campaign you will see George Bush become more focused and with it the Presidents poll number begin to rise. That will be true all the way through the rest of the campaign until we have a neck and neck race at the end of October of 1992.
In this episode we will listen in on where the race stood at the start and hear two rallies very early on as Bush addresses a crowd in Oxford, Mississippi, and Bill Clinton talks to a meeting of the AFL-CIO.
As we kick off the beginning of the most exciting election in my lifetime.
