I had to check. lol Dole was the vice presential nominee in 1976. You had me going there for awhile.
from Wikipedia:
“Dole was the Republican vice presidential nominee in the 1976 U.S. Presidential election, but lost the election to Walter Mondale, who ran on the Jimmy Carter ticket”
I totally screwed that up. Dole was the 1996 nominee. When you are as old as I am the years fly by.
