In a related story, Reagan picked Bush for veep. He even spoke to him sometimes! Remember Reagan, that damned RINO?

It's worse than that...in 1976 Reagan promised to name Senator Richard Schweiker...the most liberal Republican in the Senate...to be his running mate if nominated as the GOPs's presidential candidate.

Hey rabs! I hope your parents' computer room is plenty warm today.

Schweiker's ACU ratings in the 2 years leading up to Reagan picking him:

1975 -- 9

1976 -- 16

I still don't know what got into Reagan on this deal...LOL.
