I don't think so. I seriously think the "potatoe" thing would get him again. It's sad because he's such a smart and decent sort of guy, but I think it's true.

He's damaged goods, not a prayer. A GOP Mondale.

Come to think of it, I have seen more of him lately. If Bush wins re-election, the one thing he has failed to do is square up a successor.

Perhaps Quayle has his eye on the prize. Though Giuliani would be my first guess.

Oh, good Lord. Quayle is done. He's not an elder statesman and will be another also-ran in 2008 if he runs again. The 2008 GOP nominee will be from this political generation (in office post-1998), not the previous one.

You know, choosing him for VP was the worst thing that could have happened to him in retrospect. Had he served a couple more terms in the senate and matured I think he would make an outstanding candidate. I have alot of respect for him and wouldn't hesitate to vote for him should he run.

Yeah, he is done. Will never do anything in politics again - and he is probably making 10 times as much $$ and having a lot more fun than if he had stayed in politics.

He got a bum rap - but what can you do?

Anybody notice that Dan Quayle has started to raise his public profile?

Can't say I've noticed any unusual Quayle activity lately ... a lot of cicadas, a few rabbits ... no Quayle.

I seriously think the potatoe thing will be a distance memory and people won't put much weight in it. I don't know if Quayle will make a serious run at President, but he would, I would support him 100%.

Since I haven't noticed, I don't think he is making much of a splash. I try to follow this stuff - I haven't seen him even on the far far horizon.

I agree with the "damaged goods" comment. Dan Quayle, while a fine patriot and smarter than he is given credit for, would have a tougher time making a political comeback than Newt Gingrich - and that ranks up there with "damned impossible"!!

Dan Quayle raising his profile is not necessarily a good thing. He is beyond damaged, at least nationally.

The GOP does not need to run retreads. They need fresh faces with conservative principles and ideas.

Dan Quayle has his day in the Sun.

Dan Quayle is a fine human being and his best use of his time would be to push the conservative agenda and run for governorship of his home state

Why, his last name isn't Bush or Dole, so he wouldn't stand a chance of winning the nomination!

Kidding. Sort of.

It's perfectly fitting that Quayle is raising his profile since AlGore is certainly trashing his own.

There was never anything wrong with Quayle, anyway, ever, except his blue blood and his spelling preferences.

I'd like to see him slug about DC today, now that he's more - august.

He needs to keep his mouth shut and stay away from GW or any contender for 08 [because he is not one of them!].

He is an intelligent, honorable man who would make a great president. Unforntunately, it will never happen. Quayle's political future is dead. He can make a living giving speeches and consulting with other candidates, but he can never get elected anything again.
