re: #474 HappyWarrior

A funny story about that but I don’t know how many of you know but Dan Quayle briefly considered running in 2000. My Dad’s manager at the time loved the idea and my Dad just remembers laughing at it and then sure enough we got W Bush.

Quayle actually had one of the best and most relevant comments of that race. He appeared on the Jay Leno show just after he had dropped his nascent presidential bid. Jay asked him why he had ended his campaign. Quayle said, “We just couldn’t match the Bush money machine.”

The rest is history.
