Kemp, and listen to his ideas. Certainly not Palin before Palin.

John McCain.  He was only 52, and still a war hero in the US Senate.  If Bush still lost to Clinton in 1992, ex-VP McCain would have been a viable candidate in 1996.

Keep in mind that McCain was still embroiled in the Keating Five scandal at that time. He didn't really develop his pre-2008 "maverick" reputation until after that in an attempt to rehabilitate his image.

Kemp, because he provides cover on Bush's right-flank and experience on tax and poverty issues (two areas where Bush had significantly less)

John Danforth.  (Or, if Bush doesn't pick him 1988, then his son should pick him in 2000.)

I'm in agreement with most here that Kemp would've been a much better choice than Quayle.
