But not from a School of Reagan viewpoint. Let's recall, Bush was brought to the Reagan ticket for balance. In a lot of ways (Particularly in hiw own view, if you read his book) Quayle was more a Reaganite than Bush was. The place Bush stood a chance of being out-shone, was in ideology, and that was a glaring lack, that both he and W share, alas. Which is how you ended up with brilliance like a no new taxes pledge being reversed. Like McCain, he's far too interested in 'getting along' with the Democrats... people who promptly used that taxes consession as a club to beat him up with, for example.
