Loser:
Jeb Bush (R)
Major Loss:
1994 Florida Gubernatorial race
Opponent:
Lawton Chiles
What's the perfect meal to eat after an election defeat?
Three Budwiesers and a plate of enchiladas. . . Unlike Bill Clinton I lost twenty pounds during my campaign. Big Macs didn't seem as tasty as they
do now. I was living on adrenaline and coffee.
The day after the campaign you actually ran into your opponent, Lawton Chiles, on the street and shook his hand. Was that a difficult hand to
shake?
It was intuitive. That's something I learned at my mother's knee. Twenty years ago you would have made the news for not doing it. Now, you make
the news for doing it.
