Dole was far too weak and wasn't being "himself" (talking ideas, being lighthearted, espousing the conservative viewpoints). He was trying to be someone he wasn't, and his appeal to people was like ashes in a windstorm.

The rank and file just don't like McCain. He sells out the Republicans every chance he gets.

And yes, the Times will stick it to him for the rest of the year.

Idiots dismissed Dole as "too old" 12 years ago, I saw him on tv recently and I would still rather have Dole as president today than either Clinton, and possibly rather than W.

When are people going to realize we have an economic/military superpower of over 3oo million here, and it's the big things that count in selecting an administration? Not "too old" or "boring" or playing a saxophone.

“The rank and file just don’t like McCain. He sells out the Republicans every chance he gets”.

Right! Well I am pretty damned rank, and John McCain just might be rough around the edges for a Republican. But his track record indicated he is an honorable man and a true American. I would rather have McCain as my president that Hillary and Bill, or Obama.
