Because he was old and boring. A good candidate with good charisma would have comfortably beat Clinton.  He never really right attacking Clinton.  Dole (much like McCain) never really answered the question, "why should I vote for Dole" except that he is not a democrat.

Clinton was in almost as good of a position to win re election as Reagan was in 1984. Baring the Republicans nominating Colin Powell (who never wanted to enter politics) Clinton wasn't getting beat.
