Does anyone know what the VP short lists were for all Presidential candidates in modern history? I only know 2004, mainly because I wasn't able to follow stuff like that before this election (age), and I've done some web searches, but it's hard to find.

Thanks.

I think 2000 was Lieberman, Shaheen (would have been a great choice), and John Edwards (not sure about this one though).

For Bush, it ws basically only Cheney, as he picked himself.

In 1980 Reagan had tyhe choices of:

William Roth (Liberal Jewish Republican from Deleware)

I'm guessing Roth might have lost any hope of Reagan getting the South.

Any relation to Jewish author Philip Roth?

Bush was the best choice, considering Dole had been the VP nominee in '76, and hadn't done much for Ford.

Actually Dole really helped Ford. He probably held Kansas, North Dakota, and South Dakota for Ford.
