I wasn't a big fan of Dole.In fact I was never a fan of his from the very beginning, for reasons I won't bore you with. But he was definitely a major leaguer. He wielded more influence in a week during about two decades of his career than Trancredo can hope for in a lifetime. I do quite like Hatch, yep I do, but he was not suited for the presidency, and never was.

Yes, Dole had influence. You stay in the Senate for a few decades, you do garner influence. He was a major league loser who got the kool aid drinker's vote and gave us a second term of Clinton. What do you like about Hatch, his willingness to cosponsor bills with Feinstein?
