1980 John Anderson vice presidential candidate selection

This article lists running mates considered by John B. Anderson during his 1980 independent candidacy for President of the United States. Anderson, a Republican congressman from Illinois, launched an independent candidacy after dropping out of the Republican primaries. On August 26, 1980, Anderson announced his selection of former Democratic Governor Patrick Lucey of Wisconsin as his running mate.[1] Anderson had previously stated that he wanted to choose a liberal Democrat such as Arizona Representative Mo Udall as his running mate.[2] Anderson also seriously considered naming a black or female candidate, but ultimately went with the safer choice of Lucey.[3] The Anderson-Lucey ticket took 6.6% of the popular vote in the 1980 presidential election.

Independent candidate John B. Anderson chose former Wisconsin Governor Patrick Lucey as his running mate in 1980.

gollark: All the parser implementations around should accept that as valid, and you can use a fixed amount of size.
gollark: Okay, very hacky but technically workable: have an XTMF metadata block of a fixed size, and after the actual JSON data, instead of just ending it with a `}`, have enough spaces to fill up the remaining space then a `}`.
gollark: XTMF was not really designed for this use case, so it'll be quite hacky. What you can do is leave a space at the start of the tape of a fixed size, and stick the metadata at the start of that fixed-size region; the main problem is that start/end locations are relative to the end of the metadata, not the start of the tape, so you'll have to recalculate the offsets each time the metadata changes size. Unfortunately, I just realized now that the size of the metadata can be affected by what the offset is.
gollark: The advantage of XTMF is that your tapes would be playable by any compliant program for playback, and your thing would be able to read tapes from another program.
gollark: Tape Shuffler would be okay with it, Tape Jockey doesn't have the same old-format parsing fallbacks and its JSON handling likely won't like trailing nuls, no idea what tako's program thinks.
