Notably: In 1969 John Marchi, the conservative Staten Islander who would go on to represent Staten Island–the somnolently fascist fifth borough of New York–pulled off one of the great upsets in New York political history. He defeated John Lindsey in the GOP primary for mayor. In an unexpected turnaround, Lindsay then decided to run in the general election as a Liberal Party candidate (a different kind of liberal, back then), against Marchi as the Republican and Mario Procaccino as the Democrat (who had beaten, among others, Norman Mailer in the primary. Mailer polled 5 percent, about the ratio of his good-to-bad lines in his books). Lindsay pulled it off with 42 percent of the vote, Manhattan tipping it over for him. All the candidates invoked the Little Flower Fiorello LaGuardia’s name every chance they got, finally giving Marchi one of the best lines of the debating circuit that season: “You like to compare yourself to LaGuardia! You’ve no resemblance to LaGuardia–not even biological!” It was nevertheless a losing effort. And there, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is where (I think, though I cannot prove) Lloyd Bentsen was inspired to deliver his own losing-effort best line of the 1998 presidential election, when he was Michael Dukakis’s running mate, in a debate with the tater-limbered Dan Quayle:

“Mars is essentially in the same orbit… Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe.”

–Dan Quayle, Aug. 11, 1989.
