Vice President’s aren’t choosen for ‘ability’ as much as they are choosen to shore up the top of the tickets perceived or real weaknesses. Thats how we got Bush the Elder in 1980. Thats how we got Al Gore in 92. Thats how we got Dick Cheney in 2000.
Each one brought to the ticket things that were lacking, real or perceived, to the top ticket guys, Reagan, Clinton and Bush.
A political party that doesn’t do this, doesn’t win the general election cycle, folks.
