  • Picking the Vice President

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.

  • Out-Of-Office Experience Voters Hesitate to Elect Those Who Took a Break from Politics by Joshua Spivak
    Saturday, March 26, 2011 Out-of-office experience Voters hesitate to elect those who took a break from politics By Joshua Spivak It’s looking increasingly likely that Republicans will select a presidential candidate who is not currently an officeholder. But a look at history reveals that the American people are not enamored of electing out-of-office candidates. By limiting themselves to people who aren’t in the daily political battlefield, the Republicans may be harming their chances of success in November 2012. Voters’ anti-incumbent sentiment accounts for much of the reason Republicans are lacking office-holding candidates. The 2010 election was noted for its intense anti-incumbent fervor. It wasn’t just that the Democrats were swept out of office in near-record numbers in the House. The real surprise was the strong moves against Republican incumbents. In state after state, Republican incumbents or elected officials seeking to move up were defeated by barely known, sometimes very flawed insurgents. Utah Sen. Bob Bennett lost the party’s nomination, as did Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who won the election regardless by running as a write-in candidate. Delaware Rep. Mike Castle was defeated in the primaries in his search for the Senate by tea party candidate Christine O’Donnell. Similar upsets played out in Nevada, New York, Colorado and Florida. This anti-incumbent fervor has already had a significant impact on the 2012 nomination process. For the first time since 1904, no sitting U.S. senator is seeking the party’s nomination. And with only two sitting governors, Indiana’s Mitch Daniels and Mississippi’s Haley Barbour, and two representatives, Michelle Bachman and Ron Paul, even being discussed as candidates, it is very likely that, for the first time since 1984, a major-party presidential nominee will not be a sitting officeholder.

  • The Economic Cost of the Military Industrial Complex
    The Economic Cost of the Military Industrial Complex By James Quinn "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hope of its children." These must be the words of some liberal Democratic Senator running for President in 2008. But no, these are the words of Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Supreme Allied Commander during World War II, five decades ago. The United States, the only superpower remaining on earth, currently spends more on military than the next 45 highest spending countries in the world combined. The U.S. accounts for 48% of the world’s total military spending. Where did the peace dividend from winning the Cold War go? (click to enlarge images) The United States spends on its military 5.8 times more than China, 10.2 times more than Russia, and 98.6 times more than Iran. The Cold War has been over for 20 years, but we are spending like World War III is on the near term horizon. There is no country on earth that can challenge the U.S. militarily. So, why are we spending like we are preparing for a major conflict? The impression on the rest of the world is that we have aggressive intentions. The administration is posturing like Iran is a threat to our security.
