In response to "And what about Quayle's and Palin's presidential campaigns? The one's before they were nominated for VP? -- nm*" by tobor.2

Quayle did in 2000 and tanked...and Palin found out she wouldn't be supported in the run up to 2012.

Biden won the VP because he was suited for it. He's an old hand with experience which is exactly what is the counterbalance to a young inexperienced President.

So not before they were nominated. So it isn't really a comparison. -- nm - tobor.2 Sep 19, 17:27 10
- You lost me. You said if Biden was a bad candidate, he wouldn't have won VP. I gave you Quayle - Will Hunting Sep 19, 17:31 1
  - No, I said if he was as bad as jangles seemed to be saying Obama wouldn't have won. - tobor.2 Sep 20, 14:44
- In other words you're backing my point. -- nm - tobor.2 Sep 19, 17:28 7
  - Only if you are agreeing with Pixie and me that biden is a bad presidential campaigner. -- nm* - Will Hunting Sep 19, 17:32 6
    - Given Hillary's campaign thus far, are you arguing he'd be worse than she has been? - ML Sep 19, 17:43 5
      - She'll barely even win POTUS! -- nm - David Sep 19, 17:51
      - She's been mediocre but started with 65%...he's mediocre and wouldn't. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 19, 17:50 2
        
        All I'm saying is that it takes a special kind of untalent to squander an uncontested race, and she's managed to do it. -- (edited) - ML Sep 19, 17:58 1
        
        by definition, once Sanders entered it stopped being uncontested - jangles Sep 19, 18:03
      - well she's no Scott Walker, i'll admit . . . -- nm - jangles Sep 19, 17:44
