In a recent comment exchange, I made the following comment to a liberal regular commenter here on Brian’s Blog. The comment was “You would be surprised who I supported for the Republican nomination for President in 1996 and 2000” He tried to guess with some obscure name.

Here is the list of candidates as I remember them from 1996 in the Republican primary for President. Leave a comment with your vote for who you think that I supported. The winners “will receive a mighty fine prize” my admiration and respect.

We will probably do this with the 2000 race as well.

In alphabetical order, that’s the only fair way to do it. The candidates were:

Lamar Alexander
Pat Buchanan
Bob Dole
Bob Dornan
Steve Forbes
Phil Gramm
Alan Keyes
Dick Lugar
Arlen Specter
Morry Taylor
Pete Wilson

I liked some things from each one, however, I did support only one in the primary. You shouldn’t be surprised to know that I supported the Republican ticket of Dole/Kemp in the General election.
