Oh please. Vice Presidential picks are overrated, they really don’t have all that much bearing on an election.

Exactly. Getting all worked up in favor of or against a Vice Presidential candidate is a SURE sign you have way too much free time.

Precisely. VP is just window dressing. They have no power or duties except to go to funerals of dead dictators and presiding over the Senate, which they don’t really do, it’s just a formality. The guy who said the job wasn’t worth a bucket of warm ‘spit’ was right on in his observation................

Maybe not. But it does show he can evidently be pushed around by advisers and fall into Hillary’s trap of taking the safe, easy way out.

VPs have little impact but can be helpful in a home state that is close.

For the most part, I agree, but sometimes the pick can make a world of difference.

For example, if John McLame had NOT picked Sarah Palin, he would have been drubbed by Obama like Mondale was by Reagan!
