I thought Barkley (under Truman) was the first one to have signficiant influence. I believe he was the first one to be invited to all Cabinet meetings. Before Truman, though, the VP spot wasn't "worth a bucket of warm piss" though.

He only got the nomination because no other Democrat would take it.

Humphrey wanted it.

Back in 1948? He was too inexperienced and unknown.
