.SHORTLY AFTER declaring his compete the Autonomous nomination in 1960, John F. Kennedy said: "I do not recall a solitary scenario where a vice-presidential prospect contributed a selecting ballot." Still, the north-easterner decided on Lyndon Johnson as his running-mate, really hoping that the senator coming from Texas will help him in southern conditions. Johnson tore all over the South in a train nicknamed the LBJ Express, coming to rallies in a ten-gallon hat to the stress of "The Yellowish Rose of Texas". After he succeeded, Kennedy accepted that "our company couldn't have actually carried the South without Johnson". That Johnson "supplied the South" is right now acquired understanding. However just how much difference do vice-presidential choices really make in political elections?
