Kemp placed 4th in the primaries behind Dole and Pat Robertson (Of 700 Club fame).
Bush was trying to inject both some youth in his campaign with Quayle and firm up Midwest support.
Speaking pf Quayle, remember how hard the media rode him over not being able to spell potato or some such word? They tried to portray him as a dummy. But where is that media now over that stupid new congresswoman- Ortiz? She has made several stupid statements but criticizing her is off limits.
The only thing Quayle firmed up was the impression that the presidential years of 1988-1992 were confused and largely inept.
