That was something that really pissed me off: discovering that Bob Dole was a warm, funny, human person. The '96 campaign was, I think, the single worst-managed Presidential campaign I've seen. Clinton was vulnerable, with new scandals popping up seemingly every week...and the Republicans nominated someone who appeared to be a member of the walking dead. Had the real Bob Dole shown up for that campaign, I think we'd be coming to the end of Dole's second term having just watched an epic battle between either Kemp or McCain and Hillary Clinton.
