Maybe it was the same leadership that forced him to accept George Sr. as his VP. I remember the convention well, there was no clear choice for VP and the battle raged on til the wee hours, finally RR came to the floor and endorsed Bush Sr

Actually the rumor that night was that Reagan's running mate was going to be Gerald Ford. Reagan then came in and addressed delgates saying it was GWHB to quash those rumors.

I don't remember a lot of the particulars, just that it looked like a riot was about to break out on the convention floor. :)

Of course I don't remember what I watched on TV yesterday either.
