I constantly hear, on this forum and others, how the Dukakis campaign's failure to capitalize on Quayle being unqualified is part of what contributed to his loss. Why is this? Quayle at this time had been in Congress since 1977 and defeated a prominent progressive senator in the Reagan landslide and was reelected with 60% of the vote in the same year Republicans lost their Senate majority. On paper, that doesn't exactly scream "unqualified" to me, but I know very little about Dan Quayle apart from the above and the potatoe incident, which was during his vice presidency.
And, of course, the fact that he SINGLE-HANDEDLY SAVED OUR DEMOCRACY by telling Mike Pence he couldn't overturn the election results
