In 1992 is dad campaigned like he wanted to lose. As long as I live I will never forget watching CSPAN on Election Day 1992 at around 2:00 P.M. Central Time. They showed President Bush going to Oshman's Sporting Goods in Houston and buying a fishing real.
The message was loud and Clear. "I just got my butt kicked by an Arkansas HillBilly and now I'm going fishing."
I knew it was over then and it was still five hours before the polls closed on the east coast.

The elder Bush was in a fishing boat somewhere off Maine, when the troops were getting ready to invade Iraq in Desert Storm. The man seriously likes his fishing.
