Short Biography:
When George Bush ran for president in 1988, he selected Quayle as his running mate, admiring his conservative views, and believing that Quayle could deliver the youth vote.
This choice encountered heavy criticism because of Quayle's limited political experience and his association with a fundamentalist Christian group. Much was made of his earlier enlistment in the Indiana National Guard, which meant that he avoided action overseas during the Vietnam War.
Quayle stayed out of the limelight during the remainder of the campaign and became vice president in November 1988.
