Both had run for their parties nomination eight years earlier under more favorable circumstances and probably would have won has they got the nomination. Both were at one time seen as men of integrity and widely respected but were shadows of their former selves by the time they got the nomination due to being associated with an unpopular president from Texas and an unpopular war. Both got close to that president (who was from a rival party faction) out of a desperate desire to become president.
