[I scratch my head over Chris Cole getting 3%; it's higher than Mike Munger, who was the only LP guy who made any news. I have to wonder if people didn't confuse "Cole" for "Dole." Cole is a perennial candidate and prolific letter-writer from the Mecklenburg area, who usually gets a fraction of a point.]

Dole did a mediocre job and was part of the Establishment Republican problem that got the GOP in the mess it's in.

Many people did not vote for her because she did a half-ass job.

Mrs. Dole was a generally solid Republican vote in the Senate, but that didn’t do a lot of good for her image when the administration line was so unpopular. She doesn’t even have a good haircut any more; apparently her stylist decided to go all Urban, and now she looks old.

I’ve always liked the Doles, and I hope they enjoy their well-earned retirement back in Ioway or wherever they come from.
