I once read a book published during the Carter administration that suggested that Vice Presidents would have all the positives of incumbent Presidents and none of the negatives, and that the Vice President would thus almost always win the Presidency.

Needless to say, that didn't happen.

Really? Was the author not aware that Martin Van Buren had been the last sitting Vice-President to be elected President at the time?
