What inspired me to post this thread is Jack Kemp's presidential campaign in 1988 and the speculation that Jack Kemp should seek the Republican presidential nomination of 1988. Kemp was also considered more popular than the presidential nominee at the top of the Republican national ticket. Like in my previous thread about Lloyd Bentsen, perhaps the POD could be Bob Dole's health failing, forcing him to concede the nomination? Would the nomination fall to Kemp or would it be given to Pat Buchanan (that's where I'm unsure)? I believe that to give Bill Clinton a true challenge for re-election, have Kemp select Governor Christine Whitman of New Jersey as his running mate. While that ticket is not unbeatable, it will certainly give Clinton and Al Gore something to worry about. Thoughts? Ideas?
