So you think that he might believe that being Vice President would hurt 
his chances at winning the Presidency?

Reagan was a pro, of course.

He worked as a Washington lobbyist for a total of two decades.  One of his 
great victories resulted in the massively devastating S&L scandal of the 
late 1980s.  He also worked for Westinghouse and GE, both major defense 
contractors.

If you want to manipulate the feelings of the American people for profit 
-- call Fred Thompson, he'll help.  When you look at him and here his 
voice, don't you get a feeling that he is solid and trustworthy?  He's 
pretty good at what he does:  Scamming people.

Mike
