Hail To The VEEP

I Own The World is taking a look at the qualities a presidential candidate might look for in a VP pick. The traditional quality selected for is that the Veep be able to carry some voting bloc that the wannabe Prez might not carry. In 1960, the Northeastern liberal JFK for example, picked a good ol' southern boy to help carry the south.

Some years later, Walter Mondale thought he could pick up a lot of chicks at the polls with his Link"Ferraro". Nice try, but it didn't work.

Various qualities are put forward, and names are attached to each.

O'Bozos technique seems to have been to pick someone, who terrifies would-be assassins into inaction at the thought of his succession: Joe Biden.

On the other side,for the same reason there's Ron Paul.
