.SHORTLY AFTER introducing his compete the Autonomous nomination in 1960, John F. Kennedy stated: "I don't recall a single scenario where a vice-presidential prospect supported an appointing vote." Still, the north-easterner selected Lyndon Johnson as his running-mate, hoping that the legislator from Texas would assist him in southern states. Johnson tore all over the South in a train nicknamed the LBJ Express, arriving at rallies in a ten-gallon hat to the tensions of "The Yellow Flower of Texas". After he won, Kennedy admitted that "our team couldn't have actually lugged the South without Johnson". That Johnson "delivered the South" is actually right now obtained knowledge. Yet the amount of variation perform vice-presidential choices actually create in political elections?
