Not sure who was worse - Dole or McCain.
Both were bad, but Dole maintained my respect, he was just the wrong man for the job. McCain can piss off.
McCain would’ve been disastrous. Dole would’ve been mediocrity.
They were both equally bad campaigners who wanted to be gentlemen first and President second. However, the difference is that McCain could have won had he not botched it. And losing to Obama is more unforgivable than losing to Clinton.

Dole left the scene a long time ago, no longer relevant to the fight at hand except as a lingering history lesson of republican squishiness vs. conservatism that was never learned and doomed to be repeated in 2000, 2004 and 2008. McCain is still dancing to bipartisanship music and chasing away Tea Party hobbits for Obama while the nation is being torn asunder. McCain and his ilk have created grievous damage to conservatism and continue to do so.
Dole kicked Clinton’s fat ass in ‘93 and ‘94 before the cavalry arrived.
