He was the best Governor of IL in my lifetime, all things considered.

I predicted that Thompson was going to be Bush 41's pick for VP.  Quayle was considered more of a "movement conservative", but Thompson would have been a more useful pick, even as I view Quayle as unfairly maligned.

He never ran for President.  He was never seriously suggested as a Presidential candidate.  I found that kind of odd.
I guess why is because somebody could attack him for "Chicago's crime".
