Connally's long arc from Texan powerbroker to possible Ford VP
John B. Connally, a longtime power figure in Texas and Washington, has been wounded in Dallas, served in Nixon's cabinet, and survived Watergate allegations. Now a potential vice president candidate for Ford, he insists he is not seeking the office but would join only if it helps the ticket. He shifted parties in 1973, remains a persuasive campaigner, and maintains a low public profile from his Houston law firm and cattle ranch.
