I lived in New York during the last couple of years before he was plucked off to Washington to become Gerald Ford's Vice President. For a Republican governor, Rockefeller was progressive and he accomplished good things for the entire state. Rockefeller was more like an Eisenhower-style Republican, who really did get things done. If he had lived to run for President I might have considered voting for him.
