Actually, I thought Dole's campaign in 96' was worse. But when discussing disastors, I guess the scale is all relative.

I think Dole did all right considering there was no way he was going to win. Kemp turned out to be a dud but otherwise Dole at least kept it respectable and the GOP kept the Congressional majority.

Kemp turned out to be a dud but otherwise Dole at least kept it respectable and the GOP kept the Congressional majority.

Even better he did considerably better than Bush 41 in 1992. We won back a few states, and Clinton's populuar vote was kept below 50% (the worst reelect performance since 1916).
