The GOP VP candidate should be someone who has been a congressman, since that usually worked, during the past 55 years. Five of the last six republican VP’s were U.S. reps. Those five were Dick Cheney, Dan Quayle, George H.W. Bush, Gerald Ford, and Richard Nixon. The exception is Spiro Agnew.

I believe both Quayle and Ford were US senators prior to being VP.

Check that. Just Quayle was a senator.

You have a point, but I am all for stirring up the pot this go round. We need proven leaders as our President and Vice President. Franks has certainly proven that he is a leader.
