- <p>Perot uses old and tested tools to launch a new citizens' lobby
- </p>
- <p> Like a tin pan alley trouper, Ross Perot has a craving for
- the limelight and for Larry King Live. His latest gig casts him
- as head of a new watchdog group, designed to badger Bill Clinton
- and Congress about federal spending and the deficit. Before a
- crowded Dallas press conference, a pleased Perot unveiled new
- versions of the old props--the fiscal charts, an 800 number
- and TV commercials--that helped him capture 19% of the vote in
- November. Then he regaled reporters (or at least himself) with
- a scratchy rendition of Patsy Cline's smash hit Crazy, his old
- campaign theme song.
- </p>
- <p> Perot vows to revitalize his United We Stand America, Inc.
- (membership: $15), in every neighborhood. But he was quick to
- disavow another campaign for the White House. If he had to run
- again, he reasoned, "I would feel that I personally failed."
- Remember that quote when he announces his candidacy three years
- from now.
