IMHO, Bush Sr. looking at his watch was such a non-issue both in reality and in the minds of voters. Him breaking his promise to raise taxes, though, was relevant.
IMHO the main reason Bush Sr. lost re-election was because it would have been the fourth term in a row for Republicans. With that in mind, it's probably amazing that Bush Sr. won his first term to begin with (almost certainly due to Reagan's immense popularity).
I don't mean that as a slam against Bush Sr. or Republicans. I'm just saying you have to go back to the 1950's for other times when a party won the WH more than two terms in a row.
He wasn’t looking at his watch.. He was reading a message. Look at it again. He reads the message, then looks at the person sending it. Finally, he shakes his head no...
