RE McCain was the worst candidate since Bob Dole.
Good comparision 1996 vs 2008 but I personally liked Dole, he led successful destruction of 1993 democrats rule (16 years ago) by blocking and bringing down Clinton bills. And held senate opposition together 100% , did McCain ever lead the opposition to rats, helll, he wants to make BoB a success.
True, the comparison is only valid in that both led terrible campaigns. Except McCainez actually gave us something to be excited about with Governor Palin as his VP nominee. Jack Kemp was terrible and the VP debate was just so non-eventish.
But both candidates point to problems in the RNC machinery.
