It looks like Bob Dole never took down the website for his 1996 presidential campaign. Most of the links still work, too, and it’s revealing to see the issues with which Dole attempted to rally voters. They include a flag-burning amendment, prayer in schools, a balanced-budget amendment, and…term limits. Sadly, the “Crossword Puzzle” link is dead. source
EDIT: While the site is apparently a recreation (by these guys), who cares? The time capsule element is the reason why this is appealing.
