1984 Presidential primaries
Democratic Party: Incumbent President Jimmy Carter ran unopposed and easily secured the nomination with Ted Kennedy once again as his running mate.
Republican Party: The Republican primaries were hotly contested from the beginning with polls showing Congressman Jack Kemp in the lead early in the primaries.
After failing to secure the Republican nomination nearly 20 years ago, Governor Harold Stassen ran a vicious campaign and insulted a number of his opponent before withdrawing after Super Tuesday. He endorsed Jack Kemp.
Governor John Connally ran a modest campaign stating that his time as Governor of Texas would help him to run the country but withdrew after a less than stellar performance on Super Tuesday endorsing Bob Dole.
Congressman Phil Crane surprised many as he led in the polls after Super Tuesday but after the Connally endorsement for Bob Dole, he fell off in the polls and dropped out of the race, endorsing Jack Kemp.
Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole, Congressman Jack Kemp and Former CIA Director George H.W. Bush all vowed to take it all the way to the convention which they did and after a series of votes it was Bob Dole who secured the nomination. He selected John Connally as his running mate.

1988 Presidential primaries
Democratic Party: Vice President Ted Kennedy was the frontrunner early on due to riding the momentum of the Carter administration.
The Whitewater scandal came back to haunt Governor Bill Clinton and he was forced to drop out of the race due to low polling numbers.
Reverend Jesse Jackson was an extremist candidate that had many views that were not in line with the Democratic party and he dropped out following the Iowa caucus.
Rep. Pat Schroeder crept up through the polls and was soon in third over Senator Al Gore, Senator Bill Bradley and Rep. Dick Gephradt, the latter of which would soon drop out endorsing Senator Joe Biden.
Al Gore was the next to drop out, promising to be back in 1992 regardless of who won the presidency, he endorsed Pat Schroeder.
Bill Bradley began barnstorming the nation and soon passed Pat Schroeder in polling, however Ted Kennedy and Joe Biden remained tied atop the polls.
Pat Schroeder soon decided to drop out of the race and promised that she would return in the next election to continue the work that she has done. She endorsed Joe Biden.
Bill Bradley stated that he was going to take this all the way to the convention and the race was blown wide open when Ted Kennedy announced that he was dropping out of the race and endorsed Joe Biden.
The Democratic National Convention soon arrived and it was Senator Joe Biden of Delaware that was selected as the Democratic nominee for President. He, somewhat surprisingly, selected Pat Schroeder as his running mate.
Republican Party: Congressman Jack Kemp dominated the polls early in the race.
Former Secretary of State Alexander Haig dropped out before the New Hampshire primary and endorsed Jack Kemp.
Former Republican nominee Bob Dole decided to drop out and endorsed his former rival Jack Kemp.
Televangelist Pat Robertson refused to give up even though he was in dead last throughout the entire race.
Former CIA Director George H.W. Bush decided that he would throw in the towel and he endorsed Jack Kemp.
At the Republican National Convention, Congressman Jack Kemp was named the Republican nominee for President. He chose George H.W. Bush as his running mate.

1992 Presidential primaries
Democratic Party: Pat Schroeder was out to a large lead early on in the primaries with Bob Kerrey (who would soon drop out and endorse Al Gore) in dead last.
Hillary Rodham tried to distance herself from her husband Bill Clinton and the Whitewater scandal which worked for a time but the other candidates attacked her on it and she dropped out, endorsing Pat Schroeder who she believed could be the first female President.
Ever-popular Ted Kennedy elected to drop out of the race due to health reasons following Super Tuesday. He endorsed Tom Harkin.
Ann Richards was loud and very popular during the primaries and stated that she should be the first Texan President since LBJ but soon dropped out and endorsed Pat Schroeder.
Paul Tsongas ran a modest campaign which saw him claim few delegates and he soon dropped out, endorsing Al Gore.
Pat Schroeder, Al Gore and Tom Harkin stated that they were going to fight all the way to the convention and that's exactly what they did.
At the Democratic National Convention, Pat Schroeder was selected as the first female nominee for a major party in United States history. She selected Ann Richards as her running mate which meant that the first all female ticket would be running in 1992.
Republican Party: Although Jack Kemp was a relatively unpopular President, nobody stepped up to challenge him besides businessman Steve Forbes who stood no chance as Jack Kemp was declared the Republican nominee with George H.W. Bush returning as his running mate.
Reform Party: In the aftermath of the 1988 election and tumultuous Presidency of Jack Kemp, billionaire Ross Perot founded the Reform Party and was announced as the first nominee for the party. He selected Ron Paul as his running mate.
