Episode 347 GEORGE H. W. BUSH 1992 The Changing of the Guard (Part 29) The Vice Presidential Debate : Dan Quayle, Al Gore, & James Stockdale, Oct 13, 1992
Manage episode 473420556 series 2850631
This is the famous Vice Presidential Debate. It would feature a fiery set of exchanges between Vice President Dan Quayle and Senator Al Gore. The two men served in the Senate together and knew each other quite well. The gloves will come off and as that happens the third man on the stage , retired Admiral James Stockdale, was often reduced to being a bystander.
It was a shining moment for Dan Quayle, who in my opinion, won this debate against Al Gore. It was the strongest moment for Quayle in either campaign. Al Gore does well too and if you follow the adage "do no harm," Gore was successful. It is also a campaign debate that shows why a novice can be truly handicapped by their lack of experience in politics. Admiral James Stockdale was a brilliant man, a former educator, and President of a University, a war Hero, a POW, and a formidable man. But you would never have known it based on the performance you will hear in this debate.
