.SHORTLY AFTER declaring his run for the Autonomous election in 1960, John F. Kennedy stated: "I do not recall a solitary case where a vice-presidential prospect assisted an appointing ballot." Still, the north-easterner decided on Lyndon Johnson as his running-mate, wishing that the politician from Texas would aid him in southern conditions. Johnson tore throughout the South in a train nicknamed the LBJ Express, arriving at rallies in a ten-gallon hat to the pressures of "The Yellow Flower of Texas". After he succeeded, Kennedy confessed that "our company couldn't have actually brought the South without Johnson". That Johnson "delivered the South" is actually currently acquired knowledge. But the amount of variation carry out vice-presidential choices really make in vote-castings?
