So as you know, then Ambassador Bush was thought to have been fairly high on President Ford short list for the vacancy in the vice presidency, in the fall of 1974. What if H.W. was chosen by Ford and served out till '77. Does he have enough clout to push some states Ford's way in the General Election against Carter to ensure a second term? If they still loose would George as a former Vice President been a stronger candidate against Reagan? What might be some other butterflies you can think of
