Well of all major party candidates, Bob Dole is one of only three landslide election loser in history where the winner couldn't even crack 50%.

The others were Stephen Douglas who finished 10% behind Lincoln in 1860 and Taft who finished 19% behind Woodrow Wilson in 1912. Dole kept within 8.5% of Clinton, not quite as well as McCain did against Obama. You can look it up.

"....Well of all major party candidates, Bob Dole is one of only three landslide election loser in history where the winner couldn't even crack 50%..."

SLAP! Mediocre/Friend to every Rat in Congress, Bob Dole. It's been 16 YEARS (that's a LIFETIME in Reality...meaning "being out of Congress") since he was in the spotlight and NOW he feels compelled to utter blatherings from the bed. Say G-night Bob.
