I'm mystified why a VP pick so bothers so many people. Usually, a VP pick contributes absolutely zero to a ticket. If I mentioned the VP losing ticket, how far back would you have to go before you'd have to pause and think who it was? Humphrey? Goldwater? Wallace? McGovern? Heck, I had to think for a second who Dukakis had, and who Dole had - and I cannot remember for the life of me who Perot's second running mate was. Who the hell cares? |
The VP pick is important mostly because it's an indication of the judgment of the presidential candidate. IMO, McCain's selection of Palin was a high stakes gamble - which isn't a behavior I favor in a President.
