.SHORTLY AFTER declaring his run for the Autonomous election in 1960, John F. Kennedy said: "I don't remember a single scenario where a vice-presidential candidate assisted a selecting vote." Still, the north-easterner chosen Lyndon Johnson as his running-mate, really hoping that the statesman coming from Texas will aid him in southern states. Johnson tore throughout the South in a train nicknamed the LBJ Express, coming to rallies in a ten-gallon hat to the strains of "The Yellow Rose of Texas". After he won, Kennedy accepted that "our team could not have actually held the South without Johnson". That Johnson "delivered the South" is actually right now received knowledge. But the amount of variation perform vice-presidential choices really create in vote-castings?
