.SHORTLY AFTER introducing his run for the Autonomous election in 1960, John F. Kennedy mentioned: “I don’t recall a solitary scenario where a vice-presidential candidate assisted an electoral ballot.” Still, the north-easterner chosen Lyndon Johnson as his running-mate, hoping that the legislator coming from Texas would aid him in southern states. Johnson tore all over the South in a train nicknamed the LBJ Express, getting to rallies in a ten-gallon hat to the pressures of “The Yellowish Flower of Texas”.
After he won, Kennedy acknowledged that “our team couldn’t have actually brought the South without Johnson”. That Johnson “delivered the South” is actually currently gotten wisdom. Yet how much difference carry out vice-presidential picks really make in elections?
