Gary Hart

.
Gary Hart's campaign for the Presidency was notable for several things none of which were very important. He was supposedly reminiscent of JFK.

In 1984 his "fluffyness" led to Walter Mondale’s memorable “Where’s the beef?” ad. In his concession speech at the convention in San Francisco Hart assured the party that he was one Hart that they wouldn’t leave there.

In 1987, his bid for the 1988 nomination ended with the exposure of his extramarital fling with Donna Rice. His wife explained that she didn’t mind and was perplexed as to why the voters did.

President Reagan supposedly said: “Boys will be boys, but boys will not be president.”
