...Vice President is about as valuable as a cow's fifth teat," John Nance Carner declared with some feeling over twenty years ago. Today that statement may draw a laugh but surely not acquiescence.

"Only a quarter of the country is Republican," scowled Scull, "and only a third of the Republicans are for Goldwater. That's about 8% of the country for him. I'm not going to leave the party, but I'm going to run an independent campaign...
