Dan Quayle for Vice President It's not too late to bring him back! (Is it?) Friends, it looks inevitable at this point that George W. Bush has pretty well settled on a vice presidential running mate. We only hope that he is considering his choice well, so that we will have the best person for the job of president (God forbid, if need be.) It is our fervent hope that in Gov. Bush's deliberations he's not leaving any stone unturned, that he might find the best! We're saying all this basically to say this: we hope Dan Quayle is being considered, and that he's not already out of the running because of any sort of prejudice engendered by comedians and pundits. Friends, Dan Quayle is a lot smarter than some people we've known. And he has other good qualities, too, that some people don't have. Please, if you're fearful like we are, that Gov. Bush is overlooking the best choice in Dan Quayle, call him or write him, and ask him to choose Quayle. If you have access to the internet, and we're not assuming you do, please consider emailing the governor, if somehow you're able to figure out the software.

We want this internet site to be the headquarters for the "Dan Quayle for Vice President" movement. And we believe it will be a movement, if enough people start moving...but it's got to be fast! We hope you will check back often. Because if there is this movement that we're anticipating, we will be hosting a really good Quayle message board, issue pages, a popup for contributions, and an assortment of other features still to be determined (if needed). For now, please allow us just to present some of the reasons we believe Dan Quayle would be a good vice president:

EXPERIENCE Just a cursory glance at a history book of recent vintage will confirm this fact: the man has already been vice president. No one can have better experience than the man who's already done the job! With eight years as vice president, Dan Quayle knows how it goes! GOOD ENOUGH FOR BUSH No. 1 George W. Bush wants to follow in his father's footsteps. Choosing Dan Quayle would be a very symmetrical choice: Bush/Quayle I; Bush/Quayle II. Kind of sounds cool. Plus, it would validate Bush 1's choice of Quayle all those years ago; it would say to the world, not only do I think Quayle was good enough for Bush-My-Dad, but I think he's good enough for me! KNOWLEDGE Dan Quayle has had a number of years away from the rigors and demands of public life. In this time, it's entirely possible that he's read a few books and has become somewhat intelligent. Therefore, he has more knowledge now.

AVAILABILITY Dan Quayle is available if the call would be given. Many of the other potential candidates already have well-paying jobs and homes, and do not need to be bothered with a major life change at this time. DESIRE When Dan Quayle demurred on running for president in 1996, it was because the fire wasn't in his belly. He had no desire. He wanted to do other things. But in 1999 he came back strong in his bid for the presidency. This proves the fire of desire is back, if not to be president then again to be vice president. But does anyone desire having him? We do! REPUTATION Few vice presidents have had the reputation that Dan Quayle had. People were always talking about him. You could barely turn on the TV at night without some pleasant anecdote being related concerning him. Often times the very name "Dan Quayle" will bring a smile to people when it's mentioned. This proves he's a fellow people like.

POLICY WONK As stated above in the category "KNOWLEDGE," Mr. Quayle has been out of office for a number of years now. In this time, we believe that it's entirely possible that perhaps he has engaged himself in studies concerning issues and policies. If this is the case, then he would probably qualify as a "policy wonk" and should be considered for Vice President simply on that score alone. FAMILY MAN As we recall, didn't he have a family? His wife was something like Mary Ann or Mary Kay....it'll come to us... INCENTIVE (FOR OTHERS) Remember how George Bush (the dad) was frail and sickly just before the 1988 presidential race started? Remember, they thought he had cancer and heart problems and Alzheimer's disease real bad? Then he chose Dan Quayle to be his veep. And with that one selection, he seemed to rally and do well. The man became like Jack LaLane, who for some of you youngsters was a very physically fit person kind of like Swarzenegger, or for some of you folks who are very very old was a regular Sandow. Anyway, the very thought that Dan Quayle was only a heartbeat from the presidency was all the incentive George Bush (the dad) needed to stay healthy. And we believe if George W. Bush chose him, the rest of us would have nothing to fear. A little known fact about Ronald Reagan is this: his curse of Alzheimer's disease is because he didn't choose Dan Quayle as his vice president back in 1980. Instead he took defeated George Bush off the barstool of consolation and the rest is history. Which makes you think, if it wasn't for that, George W. Bush wouldn't be running for president today. NO COMPLAINTS We had no complaints about Dan Quayle when he served as vice president the first time, and we don't remember no complaints that anyone else had either.
