Perhaps my worst memory is of Election night 1992, when Barbara Boxer narrowly defeated Bruce Herschensohn for the US Senate seat from California. I had worked my heart out for Herschensohn, and had he won, the Senate would have had a true statesman. That memory is only slightly worse than that of Ronald Reagan’s defeat at the 1976 Republican National Convention.
But I don’t want to dispose of such memories—they motivate me to keep fighting for the conservative cause.
