Dale, and other supporters to deliver the eight-person delegation to his column. His campaign spent only $9,000. The result was inconclusive.

Taft was unpopular in the state ov...

Incumbent Vice President George H. W. Bush won the 1988 Republican nomination for President of the United States, and chose Indiana Senator Dan Quayle as his running mate. The selection of Quayle surprised many of Bush's closest advisers, who had expected Bush to pick a more well-known running mate. [1]
