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.

As the public record shows, and an investigation will confirm, the NRSC and a series of ostensibly nonprofit, nonpartisan groups have undertaken a significant and sustained effort to funnel "soft money101 into federal elections in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended or "the Act"), 2 U.S.C. 5s 431 et seq., and the Federal Election Commission (peFECt)Regulations, 11 C.F.R. 85 100.1 & sea.

THE FACTS IN TBIS CABE On November 24, 1992, the state of Georgia held a unique runoff election for the office of United States Senator. Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell. The Republicans presented this election as a %ust-win81 election. Exhibit 1. The Republicans were so intent on victory that Senator Dole announced he was willing to give up his seat on the Senate Agriculture Committee for Coverdell, if necessary.

Fujimoto, USDA Forest Service, Portland, OR 1 New Carissa Recreational Loss Pre-Assessment Report October 2001 1. Introduction The objectives of this report are to document the nature and extent of recreation site closures and to document the historical recreation use levels at locations affected and potentially affected by the 1999 New Carissa groundings. This information is based on ephemeral data collected during and after the initial stages of the incident. This report also provides a preliminary estimate of the economic value of recreational losses resulting from this incident, which will help determine if a recreational lost use damage assessment is necessary. No original recreation valuation studies or visitor counts were undertaken. Incident Background On February 4, 1999, the 600-ft. bulk freighter, the New Carissa, ran aground approximately 3.3 miles north of Coos Bay channel entrance in the North Spit, just south of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area (ODNRA). On February 11, the vessel’s hull broke into two sections. The bow section was towed to sea and a towline separation resulted in re-grounding of the bow section of the vessel in Waldport, Oregon on March 3, 1999. See Figure 1 for a map of the grounding sites. The bow section was again towed to sea on March 9, 1999 and scuttled several days later. It is estimated that at least 70,000 gallons of oil were released during this incident.
