Lieberman, my favorite senator, though Lodge and Bentsen are good too.

Close call between Muskie and Bentsen. I voted for Bentsen, I think he would have been a great President.

Bentsen, for integrity and experience.

Plus, he totally nailed Dan Quayle in their debate.

William Miller, because, to quote Goldwater, "Bill Miller drives Lyndon Johnson nuts!"

Lloyd Bentsen.  Realistically he should have been at the head of the ticket in '88.  And frankly, he was a genius as Secretary of the Treasury.

I chose Lieberman, but it was very hard to decide between him and Bentsen. Edmund Muskie came a close third as well.
Jack Kepm would be the best republican among that group.

Bingo. He's as close as you can be to being part of the Religous Right without being an Evangelical Christian.

I'd say Bentsen.

On a related note, what office did Shriver hold before being nominated?

Bill Miller, just for that commercial he did in the 70's.

Sarge Shriver was Director of the Peace Corps.

He was also the ambassador to France between 1968 and 1970.  I don't actually know what he was doing during the 1972 election though.
