For as long as he can, he would like to appear before the voters, not as an active, partisan candidate, but rather as Vice President of all the U.S. He would even prefer not to announce his candidacy during the early-bird New Hampshire primary next March, but he may be forced to if New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller files against him.
