Who do they want if Biden does step down?

79. A certain comedian (whose name I will not mention) said . . .

. . . that Perot's V.P. pick (Admiral Stockdale) was a very good man for the job, but that Admiral Stockdale committed "the unpardonable sin of looking bad on television."

It should be pointed out that Perot selected Admiral Stockdale as an "interim" choice in order to meet the requirement (of many states) of having two candidates on a ticket. Perot's plan was that, if he advanced in the campaign, he would adjust his V.P. pick sometime in the summer of 1992. Because of Perot's dropping out and re-entering the race, Admiral Stockdale was on the Perot Independent ticket in November 1992.

I am not judging whether or not Admiral Stockdale was V.P. material, although he did have an impressive military record. Also, he had a hearing impairment which resulted from being tortured by his captors in the Viet Nam War. That hearing impairment, along with his lack of debating experience, worked against him in the 1992 V.P. debate.
