Gore nominated in 1988

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

With Gore as nominee, does H.W. choose Quayle?

I assume that Quayle was chosen to appease the more conservative wings of the GOP, since Bush himself had the reputation of a moderate.

If that is so, then Quayle's nomination is even more likely as Bush would have a more difficult time convincing conservative Republicans to go to the polls, whereas it didn't take as much to convince them that Bush was a clear alternative to Michael "card-carrying member of the ACLU" Dukakis.

I find this agreeable.
