Conservatives Stunned By Reagan Move
Reagan’s choice of Senator Richard Schweiker as running mate shocks conservatives and questions his principle driven image. The selection appears politically expedient, risking unity with his base as Carter’s cautious approach looms. Schweiker’s liberal record and AFL CIO affinity cast doubt on compatibility with Reagan’s core ideology and future vice presidential effectiveness.
