- Now that Perot has punted, here's the morning line:
-
-
- WINNERS:
-
- -- The Mexican stock market, which rebounded, no longer
- fearing his opposition to a U.S.-Mexico free-trade pact
-
- -- Ed Rollins, for getting out just in time
-
- -- All the pundits who said he'd fizzle
-
- -- Perot's bank balance and government contracts
-
- -- Ron Brown, credited with the strong Democratic
- Convention that helped persuade Perot to withdraw
-
- -- Business as usual
-
-
- LOSERS:
-
- -- Millions of loyal Perot volunteers
-
- -- Larry King, favorite of the hottest candidate
-
- -- Ham Jordan, left holding the bag
-
- -- Dana Carvey, who won a sitcom deal partly on the
- strength of his drop-dead Perot impression
-
- -- Private detectives: Perot won't need as many of them
- anymore
-
- -- Molly Ivins, who will no longer be asked to translate
- Perotisms
