You are John Anderson.

You're John Anderson in 1980.

You have to choose you running mate. (But not Patrick Lucey)

Who's youn choice (assuming this person will say yes)?

I go into my private study and I autofellate myself for having the balls to run as an Independent.

Then I would do something incredibly ballsy, like nominate former liberal Republican Massachusetts Edward William Brooke, III as my VP choice. Yes, I didn't do the nice thing and chose a Democrat, but I think that by having the balls to do something that hasn't been done before (an African-American VP). I'm not sure if it would completely destroy any chance at winning the election or giving me a lot of momentum, but it would definitely win me appeal with liberals/progressives who are my main targets.

If I can get him to accept, Edward Kennedy.

Anderson needed to split the Democrats if his largely Republican following wasn't going to bleed back into Reagan's camp so as to defeat Carter, and given how bitter the Carter-Kennedy feud was, doing so basically would turn the race into a election between Anderson and Reagan, which I think Anderson would win.

I'd see an Anderson/Kennedy ticket doing as follows:

Anderson/Kennedy: 291 EV 39% PV
Reagan/Bush: 247 EV 41% PV
Carter/Mondale 0 EV 18% PV (Carter manages to get 2nd place only in Georgia.)

Ted Kennedy would be the best. I see Carter finishing 3rd with him.
