That's a curious explanation for Bob Dole's loss.
Crippled arm aside (which, really, no one ever really noticed), Dole looked just like any other politician at the time.
Dole lost because the economy was surging, Dole didn't offer a compelling alternative to Clinton's campaign and lots of people got back on Clinton's side as he won the image war with Gingrich's Congress. In roughly that order, IMO.
