What is a reason for choosing on particular person as a vice presidential candidate?
Why the VP candidate matters:The vice-president is "just a heart-beat" away from the Presidency. Nine vice-presidents took over for the President before the end of his term. Voters need to consider the VP candidate when voting for President.The selection of his running mate gives some indication of the candidate's ability to make wise appointments in the future.The vice-presidential candidate can balance the ticket and help the presidential candidate attract votes in areas in which he is weak. For example a liberal candidate from the East might do better with a conservative running mate from the South. A rich presidential candidate may want a self-made person for his running mate. A somewhat aloof or intellectual candidate may want a warm "people person" for a running mate.The vice-presidential candidate may be able the help the President govern better by sharing his experience. For example, a candidate with no experience in Washington might profit from having a Washington insider as running mate.If there are opposing view-points in the party and the nomination was hard fought, it may be well to appease the losing faction by choosing their leader as a running mate, thereby getting stronger campaign support from all parts of the party.
