Dan Quayle had the message and the credentials, but couldn't get any word out (and the only one that anyone would print was "potatoe"). Dan probably would've benefited more from anti-Clintonism had Bush not been in the race. Quayle would've gotten the "good ol' days" vote, at least to start.
So, the bullpen had nobody but Quayle with executive experience. That ways a lot about the state of the conservative movement. We have a way to go.
