1988. The only decent candidate was Gore, but he was too young back then. As for the others, Robertson and Jackson are both nutters, Bush and Dole about as inspirational as a bag of salt, Dukakis one of the most inept candidates in history... oh, if only Bentsen had run!

I'd say the best was the Republican field in 1920 (Herbert Hoover, Theodore Roosevelt, Hiram Johnson, Leonard Wood, Charles Hughes, Calvin Coolidge, and Warren Harding)


Hey, PBrunsel, good to see you back! Didn't TR die in 1919?

That is ture NewFederalist,

However he was viewed as the GOP front-runner throughout much of 1918. He had actually selected his running-mate: Warren Harding of Ohio.

Only death could stop TR. Smiley

They should've just dug TR up and braced him in a chair with cushions. He certainly would have done a better job than Harding.
