Bob Dole was a 73 year old (ancient by those days' standards) who had no compelling reason for wanting to become president beyond being a career politician who had gradually moved up the ranks in the House and Senate and didn't have any higher post he could run for (he'd already been Majority Leader).

The economy was doing well and the Republicans had overplayed their hand after the 1994 elections.
