    Picking the Vice President Elaine C. Kamarck Brookings Institution Press Washington, D.C. Contents Introduction 4 1 The Balancing Model 6 The Vice Presidency as an “Arranged Marriage” 2 Breaking the Mold 14 From Arranged Marriages to Love Matches 3 The Partnership Model in Action 20 Al Gore Dick Cheney Joe Biden 4 Conclusion 33 Copyright 36 Introduction Throughout history, the vice president has been a pretty forlorn character, not unlike the fictional vice president Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays in the HBO seriesVEEP . In the first episode, Vice President Selina Meyer keeps asking her secretary whether the president has called. He hasn’t. She then walks into a U.S. senator’s office and asks of her old colleague, “What have I been missing here?” Without looking up from her computer, the senator responds, “Power.” Until recently, vice presidents were not very interesting nor was the relationship between presidents and their vice presidents very consequential—and for good reason. Historically, vice presidents have been understudies, have often been disliked or even despised by the president they served, and have been used by political parties, derided by journalists, and ridiculed by the public. The job of vice president has been so peripheral that VPs themselves have even made fun of the office. That’s because from the beginning of the nineteenth century until the last decade of the twentieth century, most vice presidents were chosen to “balance” the ticket. The balance in question could be geographic—a northern presidential candidate like John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts picked a southerner like Lyndon B.

  • The Choice of Running Mate
    CBS NEWS POLL For release: Wednesday August 6, 2008 7:00 A.M. VICE PRESIDENTIAL CHOICES July 31 - August 5, 2008 By over two to one, voters say that a candidate’s choice of a running mate won’t matter much when deciding which candidate to support for president. 67% say they will be voting based mostly on the presidential candidates, not on whom those men choose as their vice presidential nominee. But 30% say that the choice of a running mate will have a great deal of influence on their vote -- twice the number who said it would matter in July 2000, before George W. Bush and Al Gore made their choices. RUNNING MATE CHOICE (Among registered voters) Now 7/2000 A great deal of influence on vote 30% 15% Vote based on presidential candidates 67 81 Voters who are still undecided are more apt than those currently favoring Obama or McCain to say the candidates’ choices for vice president will be important to their vote -- 48% say it will influence their vote, 47% say it won’t. Independents (35%) are more likely than Democrats (30%) or Republicans (24%) to say the choice of vice presidential nominee will matter. Moderates are also more likely to say it will influence their vote. RUNNING MATE CHOICE (Among registered voters) Reps Dems Inds A great deal of influence on vote 24% 30% 35% Vote based on presidential candidates 74 68 60 Once the vice presidential nominees are announced, more voters are likely to decide those choices are important, if history is any guide.
