Does it make any difference whatsoever? Yes, it would have highly depended on the replacement VP candidate, but everyone knew Quayle was a disaster for the GOP ticket, even back in '88.  Then again, and perhaps confirmed back in '88, people don't vote for VP.  They vote for President. 

Watching former speeches, debates, etc. by Quayle makes one's brain hurt to say the least.  You're just awaiting for the next gaffe to roll out of his mouth.

Opinions?

That race was officially over when the young girl asked the President during the Town Hall debate, "how has the national debt affected you personally?"

Bush had no idea how to answer and again, proved he was out of touch and elitist. Clinton had the right answer (albeit it, he probably wasn't honest).  That was the official end of Campaign '92.

Quayle actually held up well in the '92 VP debate that year, far better than he did against Bentsen back in '88.
