...and probably for reagan's, the fact that they had nixon and bush sr respectively as running mates didn't make a particle of difference in tne outcome. In fact, they may both have done more harm than good to the ticket.

I stated in another thread that I think that both Ike and reagan would have both won if they'd had dried up sacks of monkey poop as their VPs. I concluded though, that they both did!

PEACE!

Reagan, it's hard to know IF GHWB had marshaled the entire BFEE against him, and gone all the way, Gingrich style.

That was never Poppy's way, but, splicing Bedtime for Bonzo with Voodoo Economics might have opened some interesting possibilities.

...I'd pick Julie. She's smarter than the other 2.

I remember some speculation back in the late 70s & early 80s that Julie may have been Deep Throat. I also heard it mentioned that it was SHE, in fact that told her father that it was time to resign.

PEACE!
