Grandpa and the kid

I’m trying to recall the last presidential candidate who picked a vice president almost old enough to be his father, if not his grandfather. As Baby Barry has done with Joe Biden, who was in the Senate before BB was born. Mike Dukakis’s choice of Lloyd Bentsen, I think it was. At least in my lifetime. Although Bentsen was only about twelve years older than Dukakis, he looked older because his hair was white. Not a good omen for the Dems, of course, as Dukakis went down in flames–carrying only ten states and D.C.
