        It isn't impossible,  merely  ludicrous.  Have  you  forgotten
        when  George  Wallace's  wife  succeeded  him  as  Governor of
        Alabama.   Didn't  the  wife  of  the   congressman   of   the
        congressman  shot down on KAL 007 run for his seat?  It is not
        uncommon for a Governor to appoint  a  congressman's  wife  to
        fill  out a term if he dies.  Having a wife follow her husband
        into political office isn't all that  uncommon.  What  do  you
        think  Elenor's  chances  would  have  been if she had had the
        democratic nomination in 48?  If you were to make  a  list  of
        the most likely people to succeed Ronald Reagan, I think Nancy
        would be on the top fifty at least.
