re: #83 mich-again
Dan Quayle was kind of like an earlier version of the “Sarah Palin” strategy. GHWB picked him for the Veep spot to bolster the ticket because he was young, attractive (?), had conservative credentials, and not much of a record to sift through.
He had a record of accomplishment and service that makes Palin’s look sick, though. We didn’t know when we were well off.
