John McCain: George W. Bush, or Bob Dole?
iowa underground blog (Free subscription) | 09/04/2008
That’s the big question I walked away with last night. The GOP is going to run this race on the old “culture war” items yet again – which has been the only thing that’s really worked since Pat Buchanan gave that 1992 culture war salvo at the GOP convention. Now, this worked wonders for George W. [...]

McCain Achieves a Miracle
BOVARD (Free subscription) | yesterday
John McCain performed a miracle tonight. He made Bob Dole’s 1996 Republican presidential acceptance speech look downright eloquent. Shizam, McCain’s performance - at least for the first 40 minutes of the speech - made Bob Dole sound the combination of Daniel Webster, John F. Kennedy, and Cicero thrown in for good measure. McCain seemed to be reciting lame [...]

Obama leading in North Dakota
Daily Kos (Free subscription) | 09/04/2008
George W. Bush won North Dakota twice, with 60% of the vote, to 38% for both Al Gore and John Kerry. Bill Clinton failed to win the state twice, and his closest margin in the state came in 1996 when Bob Dole defeated him by 6.8%. This was as he was delivering a sound electoral-college thrashing to the Kansas senator, 379-159. No Democrat has won the state since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. That was...

ST. PAUL, Minn. | Former Sen. Bob Dole — a presidential candidate, a vice presidential candidate, and the grand figure of Kansas politics — said Wednesday that he’d learned at least one valuable lesson in his 85 years.

Eleanor Clift Puts Bob Dole in Her 'Hall of Evil'
NewsBusters (Free subscription) | 08/25/2008
The McLaughlin Group isn’t the hot buzz-machine show it used to be in the 1980s, but this weekend’s show brought a classic Eleanor Clift explosion. When Pat Buchanan mocked Barack Obama’s abilities at political street brawling, and suggested he needed surrogates like the ones Nixon had – John Connally, Bob Dole, Spiro Agnew – Clift scowled and said "What a Hall of Evil!" Bob Dole’s a super villain?...

When party platforms cease to matter
Crooks and Liars (Free subscription) | 08/22/2008
It became something of a running joke in 1996, when Bob Dole publicly conceded, many times, that he hadn’t even read the Republican Party’s platform. ”I have due respect for the platform,” Dole said at one point after his convention. ”I read a lot of parts that I thought were essential.” Twelve years later, we’ve reached [...]

Should religious conservatives dump Huckabee?

(Adam Graham) - After a candidate came out of nowhere and wins four times as many primaries in 2008 as economic-conservative-supported candidate Steve Forbes did in two tries, and more primaries than George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, and John McCain did in their losing campaigns that preceded their rise to the Republican nomination, what is the most logical course of action for his most ardent supporters...

Is McCain a Gerald Ford/Bob Dole Redoux?
tbirdnow.mee.nu (Free subscription) | 08/20/2008
This piece is co-authored by Mary Grabar and Brian Birdnow and appearing at Townhall: Is John McCain’s campaign sputtering along the same track that Gerald Ford’s and Bob Dole’s did? History--after November 4, 2008--will tell. But before the train rolls off, history can provide some helpful advice to the McCain campaign to keep it on track. McCain might be able to learn lessons from the doomed, lackluster...
