Presidential Opponents to Bush in ’92
I must take issue with Baker’s implication that the Democratic Party will not likely be able to field a presidential candidate for 1992. I see the perfect candidate arising. If Dan Quayle does get bumped from the 1992 Republican ticket, as it occasionally rumored, then maybe Democratic Party Chairman Ron Brown and company can convince a disillusioned, discombobulated Quayle to cross over and run against his former mentor Bush. Maybe even Sen. Lloyd Bensten (D-Tex.), Jesse Jackson or New York Gov. Mario Cuomo (or Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone?) would enjoy being his running mate.
