No! I'm not the hack

Bob Dole did, Mitt was elected to the United States Senate from Massachusetts in 1994, buring unpopular Kennedy

The sad part is I began my satirical TL before you made that post...

Reagan Shot Dead, Clinton dies in plane crash!

Ronald Reagan/George H.W Bush (1981-1983)*
George H.W Bush/Tip O'Niell (1983-1985)**
Gary Hart/Shirley Chisolm (1985-1993)***
Jerry Brown/Paul Tsongas (1993-1997)
Richard Lugar/Pat Buchanan (1997-2001)
Dick Gephardt/Bill Bradley (2001-2009)
Fred Thompson/Tom Tancredo (2009-present)

List of Defeated Tickets:

1984 - Harold Stassen/Bob Dole
1992 - Pat Buchanan/Jack Kemp
1996 - Jerry Brown/Paul Tsongas
2000 - Richard Lugar/Pat Buchanan

In the event of an assassination, the Speaker of the House doesn't become Vice-President. The President, at that point in time could choose his own Vice-President. Did Bush choose Tip in order to unify Congress? Also, how would Harold Stassen get the nomination in 1984, forty years since he'd held elected office?

I went by Speaker of the House becoming VP, if HW chose the VP, it would have been Bob Dole. Harold Stassen got the nomination because HW didn't run for President, so Stassen was a clear front runner from the start, not many other people ran.

Why would HW choose Bob Dole, a man who challenged him for the Presidency four years removed from that time period?

A more likely pick would be Howard Baker or John Sununu (provided the latter is considered American-born.)
