Israel
Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Eight
"After the Tennessee primary, and [George] Ariyoshi dropped out, it was clear that we were going to win all the remaining primaries--I think it was clear even if Ariyoshi did not end his campaign. So we start compiling a shortlist of possible running mates--there was Senator David Boren of Oklahoma, Mario Cuomo, Governor of New York, George Mitchell, Senator from Maine, Senator Dale Bumpers of Arkansas. [Ron] Dellums wanted a progressive, but we also understood the need for someone more mainstream."

-Donna Brazile (2004)
