I have never been able to understand why Dole ran. Certainly there were better candidates. Heck, I would have voted for Newt.

Exactimundo! The GOP, in '96, begged Colin Powell to run but he refused. There was someone else, forget who, but the GOP ended up with Dole, who today is brilliantly funny and smart. He did not come off well vs clintoon in the debates and he appeared dour and too serious. Image is EVERYTHING, which is why hitlery hasn't a chance in hell, IMO.
LOL.
