He managed Walter Mondale's failed presidential bid, and was dismissed from campaign management duties for Alan Minkel's senatorial bid, after an extortion attempt by a prostitute.
For many years Bob co-hosted "Crossfire Sunday" on CNN. He was probably best known for serving as an analyst for the Fox News Channel, co-hosts "The Five." He was also a guest commentator on such programs as "Hannity", "America's Newsroom", and "Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld".
