Does anybody remember if Dole got filthy nasty dirty when he was losing to Clinton in 96? n/t

[lamp_shade]

I seem to remember that he did, but not as bad as McCain.

[saltpoint]

1. That was the pre-Viagra Dole, and he never quite got any traction

against Bill Clinton.

Dole spent a lot of time muttering things like, "Where's the outrage!?"

He used Sam Cooke's "I'm a Soul Man" as his campaign-stop music, which was swiftly converted to "I'm a Dull Man."

Kemp was actually the better candidate on that ticket, by far.

5. wrong campaign ... Lewinsky wasn't a known commodity until

after the 1996 election ...

7. Oops. Another McCain moment.

Good catch.

[liberal N proud]

2. They used the ongoing whitewater bull shit against the Clinton's

and some other bullshit schemes they thought they had dug up from Clinton's past

3. He Did Not n/t

4. His whole campaign was dirty-nasty. But in fairness

mcbushes campaign makes Bob Dole's look like a well oiled machine.

9. I agree with you, Dole's campaign wasn't near as nasty

as McCain's campaign is. Of course when you hire the same people that politically smeared you 8 years ago, you know you'll have the dirtest campaign in history.

6. I'd say obnoxious and cranky

but more like a hound dog baying

McCain is like a small vicious cur, baring his teeth, ready to go for the throat without provocation.

Meanwhile, Obama is rather like an extremely intelligent and likeable Golden Doodle.

And Palin, well she's a pit bull of course and Biden is a Border Collie for sure.

8. not a pit bull

a yorkie

yap yap yap

10. Bush Sr. did when he was losing the first time - remember "my dog millie"? eom
