Outside of LBJ's giving Kennedy Texas and one or two southern states in 1960, no VP has ever made a difference in the results of a presidential election.

Lieberman came 269 votes from doing just that in 2000.

NickG,

Who do you think Gore should have picked?

Feingold and Wellstone would have ensured Gore win in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota. But it ended up that Gore won those anyway.

If he went with one of those two he would have lost Florida by 2-3%.

Lets not hope we're having this discussion four years from now about Edwards.

I have a question: The rationale for saying that Lieberman helped in Florida is because he is jewish or because he is conservative? Because if it was the first one, then Feingold is jewish and Wellstone was, so they would have helped in the same way. Of course is a different story if it was because of his coservatism.

I can't explain it, I think Lieberman helped more in FLA than Wellstone would have.
