Quote of the Primary Campaign: Bob Dole to Newt.

. . . . . . . This prompted an apocryphal Washington exchange between a perplexed Gingrich and Dole. "Why do people take such an instant dislike to me?" asked a perplexed Gingrich, to whom Dole bluntly explained: "Because it saves them time."


A great line,  but keep in mind that Dole really was the Establishment candidate.  It was "his turn"  and no one believed that he ever had a chance of beating Clinton in his bid to win re-election.  The GOP didn't even try.  Dole,  a wonderful man,  got the nomination because he deserved the opportunity,  period.  


But it is funny line.
