Apple, I'll answer your comments with two words - "Dan Quayle".
The Republicans are bound to follow the same fate as '92.
But you're forgetting, SC...Dan Quayle and his running mate WON in 1988.
True, Bush Sr. sailed into the White House largely on Reagan's coattails and thanks in part to the abysmal campaign of one Michael Dukakis...but still, it was the Bush/Quayle ticket that won.
