.SHORTLY AFTER introducing his run for the Autonomous election in 1960, John F. Kennedy mentioned: "I don't remember a single case where a vice-presidential applicant supported an appointing ballot." Still, the north-easterner selected Lyndon Johnson as his running-mate, wishing that the politician from Texas would certainly assist him in southern states. Johnson tore throughout the South in a train nicknamed the LBJ Express, coming to rallies in a ten-gallon hat to the strains of "The Yellow Flower of Texas". After he won, Kennedy accepted that "we could not have held the South without Johnson". That Johnson "delivered the South" is actually right now obtained understanding. But the amount of distinction do vice-presidential picks in fact make in vote-castings?
