In 1996, there was one clear choice for the presidency: Senator Phil Gramm. He was a 100% conservative and outraised Dole, but he ran the worst primary campaign ever (he even managed to lose the sham Louisiana Caucus that his followers had set up and that only Pat Buchanan participated in) and was gone by the time New Hampshire rolled around.

DJ must know who the GOP’s “most electable presidential candidate” was in 1996. “It’s as simple as ABC.” Right, DJ?

You mean that tool Lamar! Alexander? LOL

I forgot about Graham, he was good. I briefly had hope for McLame when I heard Graham was one of his economic advisers and a potential SecTreas. But then he went and denied we were in a recession and made his “nation of whiners” comment and had to quit the campaign.

Buchanan embarrassed the hell out him in ‘96. Thanks for nothing Pat. Although if Graham had ran such a poor race against Clinton....

I have concerns currently about the efficacy of Palin’s proto-campaign staff.
