#vice president

Palin was a political Hail Mary, a long bomb in the closing minutes of a game that John McCain and Co. were certain to lose.

The vice president had a bargaining asset, however, that no ordinary person has: He was next in line to the presidency. I saw no chance that he would resign first, then take his chances on trial, conviction, and jail. ↗

As his vice president for eight years, I learned more from Ronald Reagan than from anyone I encountered in all my years of public life. ↗
