He ran one of the poorest national campaigns I have ever seen, given that he was supposed to be Reagan’s heir.
Just terrible.
“He ran one of the poorest national campaigns I have ever seen, given that he was supposed to be Reagans heir.”
I have to agree with you. The strange part is that when he officially entered the race he was in 2nd place nationally, and was polling pretty well. I think the problem was that he started pretty casually, and didn’t seem to ramp up till a couple of weeks before IA. when the polls showed him slipping. It went downhill fast from there. This is one of the most spectacular flameouts I’ve ever seen, rivaling even Howard Deans. One day he was there.....the next day he was gone.
I don't know if it was the poorest; however, it was pretty bad. He came to the party way too late and was largely ignored as a result (it's those first impressions).
