I see talk on this thread about choosing a VP candidate. Here is an article from a Reagan insider on how Bush was chosen in 1980. I didn't realize how close they were to picking Ford. If you love Reagan, this is an absolutely great read, it just takes a couple minutes to read.

Bush chosen at last minute

I have always thought one of Reagans worst mistakes waqs picking Geo. Bush... Ford would have been a lot worse. This article shows that Ford was willing to sacrifice Reagans election because of his lberal idiocy!!! Jack Kemp would have been better, Reagan had Carter on the ropes with the knockout punch on the way...he could have won with any pick!!!
