It may be passing strange that the only Republican presidential candidate in the last 56 years to put forward a "viable vice-presidential candidate" was Ronald Reagan.
This esteemed president of the Republican variety put forth George Herbert Walker Bush. Not earth-shaking... "do no harm"... and more than adequately credentialed. Not long after innauguration that lone visionary president barely dodged the .. event.
Just saying.
From Dick Nixon to Sarah Palin, but with a dash of Qualye and pinch of Agnew... Let it be put forth for all to see.

Works for me. I wasn't going to tamper with the laws of history.
Nixon..Dole.. a million bucks..
Dick Cheney... priceless.
John McCain has life insurance tonight.
