Gary Hart became a casualty of his own misbehavior in 1987, when he was the presumptive front-runner for the upcoming [[Democratic]] presidential nomination. Rumoprs abounded, although Hart had sworn to his staff that he had given up womanizing. The ''Miami Herald'', staked out his townhouse and reported that it witnessed an attractive women enter his townhouse one evening without leaving. This caused as much criticism of the ''Miami Herald'' as of Gary Hart. His career collapsed when photos of Hart with Donna Rice on a yacht was published by the ''National Enquirer''. Even Hart's wife refused to support him.
