.SHORTLY AFTER declaring his compete the Autonomous nomination in 1960, John F. Kennedy mentioned: "I do not remember a single situation where a vice-presidential applicant supported an appointing vote." Still, the north-easterner chosen Lyndon Johnson as his running-mate, wishing that the legislator coming from Texas would certainly aid him in southern states. Johnson tore around the South in a learn nicknamed the LBJ Express, getting to rallies in a ten-gallon hat to the tensions of "The Yellowish Rose of Texas". After he succeeded, Kennedy accepted that "our team couldn't have carried the South without Johnson". That Johnson "supplied the South" is actually currently received understanding. Yet the amount of variation do vice-presidential selections actually create in vote-castings?
