The only problem is that many VEEPs were chosen specifically to help the whole ticket.

I think Wallace may be elected narrowly on FDR coattails.

Kemp defeating Gore? No way.

Err... I guess my post doesn't add anything, in fact...
It's quite clear, eventually, even though 2004 would have been closer than one might imagine now with this deep hate of Darth Cheney.

I think Cheney would defeat Lieberman in 2000.

Mmmm... It was FL at stake: Lieberman would have been able to campaign more efficiently there than Cheney, even if Cheney might have grasped Iowa.
But you're right in the sense that it would have been close.

See, back in 2000 Cheney was not quite unpopular and hated veep. Actually, he was viewed as an respected statesmen.

He is elected separately, though.

Technically, yes, but still ticket run togehter.

1948 :

Warren : 49%
Barkley : 46%
Thurmond : 2%

Thurmond was a Dixiecrat nominee for President. Governor Fielding Wright of Mississippi was nominated for veep.

1988 :

Bentsen : 54%
Quayle : 45%

Bentsen would carry Texas against Quayle.

Regarding 1976 map, Mondale would defeat Dole by even bigger margin then Carter beat Ford. Dole campaigning in 1976 was really horrible.

As for 1976, I don't know exactly about the campaign, but I thought Mondale wouldn't have been a great campaigner. Plus, Dole's conservatism could have mobilizer better the emerging "conservative grassroots".

In 1976 Dole was a very bad vice presidential candidate. See Mondale-Dole debate for example.
