Ford only needed to replace his vice presidential candidate, dumping Nelson Rockefeller, anathema to party conservatives, in favor of Bob Dole, then a conservative hero. But what price would be exacted from Romney? And what effect would that have on...

He had ascended to the top of the Washington power structure alongside Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. But that is not his way. The man's loyalty has probably been questioned by only two associates: George H.W. Bush in 1992 and Bob Dole in 1996, both...

The title of tomorrow night’s broadcast, “The Survivor,’’ might work even better without the definite article. It’s like reality TV invades the Oval Office. Having faced down Newt Gingrich during the Republican Congress’ shutdown of the federal...

“I think there’s reason to be concerned about it,” McCain said on ABC’s “This Week,” referring to the heightened negativity in the GOP presidential primary race. “I’ve been in very tough campaigns. I don’t think I’ve seen one that was as personal, and...

"That confusion is exacerbated by, and I mean no disrespect at all, Tea Party types." Tea Party enthusiasts, like other Republicans, want a candidate who can beat Obama in the fall. But they also "don't want another Bob Dole as the nominee," says...

Some Republican observers even fantasize over a convention with no clear leader, brokered in a back room. Just like the old days, without the smoke-filled part. New Yorkers have glimpsed real primary campaigns only rarely. Bob Dole, Steve Forbes and...

These numbers look familiar to anyone who has tracked Democratic presidential primary voting for the past three decades. Until this year, Republicans hadn’t gone very far down this road. They tended to anoint the establishment front-runner — two...

“We’ve been down this road before. They gave us Bob Dole, and we got …” At that point, the listener hears the sounds of a bad car crash. “They gave us John McCain and we got” another crash. “Now they’re giving us Mitt Romney?” It continues: “The...

But the Republican Party’s image plunged in 1995 and early ’96, the product of overreach by its new congressional majority and the toxic antics of a House speaker named Newt Gingrich, while the economy — and Clinton’s approval scores — improved. By the...
