The one I could never understand was Agnew. I didn't see the political benefits to Nixon. And, of course, he had to resign. As far as that goes, Nixon himself. I gather he was forced on Eisenhower by the party's right wing. And, perhaps, to protect himself from the McCarthy element in the party. I've never read about Eisenhower's reasoning on this one.

As far as that goes, just spinning the mind a bit, Truman must have been a stretch for Roosevelt. Turned out alright but I wonder if Roosevelt saw something or just needed some sort of political protection.

Dale, we all saw Quayle made the butt of jokes. Many years later I saw him interviewed on some obscure channel for what purpose I forget....and I was riveted.

He was sharp, animated, clever and clearly intelligent. I kept thinking of how badly he'd been treated and perhaps misunderstood!! Oddly, I don't think I've seen him since...just went into obscurity probably thinking who needs this.
