how the press covered Pat Buchanan in 1992 when he only got 25% to GHWBush's 66% in SC

"Buchanan`s ability to lure a third of Republican primary voters in four states indicates that he has moved beyond nuisance status. The former thorn in Bush`s side now seems poised to nettle the president all the way to the convention...

Bush remains popular here, but there is no evidence that the powers of incumbency or any quick fix in the Bush re-election operation can make Buchanan disappear."
