Buchanan has run for President three times.  In 1992, he sought the [[Republican Party]] nomination against then-President [[George H.W. Bush]].  Many conservatives were alienated from the first Bush administration's policies, especially his reneging on his "read my lips, no new taxes" pledge and his frequent use of the term, "[[New World Order]]" to describe his [[foreign policy]] goals.  Buchanan offered conservatives who were disillusioned by the Bush Administration a choice in the 1992 primaries.  Buchanan came in a distant second in the primaries but is remembered for his fiery keynote speech at the 1992 Republican convention.

In 1996, Buchanan sought the Republican nomination again, and pulled an upset victory in the [[New Hampshire]] primary.  However, after [[Bob Dole]] emerged as the clear favorite after the [[Super Tuesday]] primaries, Buchanan suspended his campaign.

In 2000, Buchanan left the Republican Party and announced his intention to seek the [[Reform Party]] nomination for President.  He easily won the Reform Party nomination over his main rival for the nomination, [[John Hagelin]], but carried only about 1/4 of 1% of the votes in the general election, coming in fourth place behind [[George W. Bush]], [[Al Gore]], and [[Ralph Nader]].  Ironically, however, the placement of his name on the [[butterfly ballot]] in Palm Beach County, [[Florida]], probably provided [[George W. Bush]] with his margin of victory due to [[Democratic]] voters mistakenly selecting Pat Buchanan.
