Chapter Four
"No words could describe my respect for John Connally, Bob Dole, George Bush, and Howard Baker-but after searching my heart, I have decided to give my support to Jim Buckley, for I feel he could best shape our Party, and take our country in the direction it needs."
-Ronald Reagan (1979)
"After Reagan made his endorsement, the Connally campaign started pulling out all favors-endorsements, funding, anything to catch up. Reagan was the most popular conservative in the country, and he was standing by the Governor's great political rival."
-Nick Thompson (2016)
"I remember, I was talking to a [Chicago] Tribune fellow, covering the Connally side, and he said that some of his people wanted him to just go to south Carolina, `cause in the Carolina's he'd have a lot more ground. But he said, 'we're not running away from Iowa,' so they didn't."
-Clymer Wright (1988)
"The only thing Connally had left was Connally-so another debate was set up..."
-Roger Mudd (2002)
