.SHORTLY AFTER introducing his run for the Autonomous nomination in 1960, John F. Kennedy claimed: "I don't recall a single scenario where a vice-presidential prospect supported an electoral ballot." Still, the north-easterner picked Lyndon Johnson as his running-mate, wishing that the senator coming from Texas will aid him in southern states. Johnson tore throughout the South in a train nicknamed the LBJ Express, getting to rallies in a ten-gallon hat to the tensions of "The Yellowish Rose of Texas". After he won, Kennedy confessed that "we couldn't have lugged the South without Johnson". That Johnson "delivered the South" is actually now obtained understanding. However how much difference carry out vice-presidential choices actually make in elections?
