Of all the Vice Presidents, of those who never did become President, who was the greatest Vice President in the history of the United States?

Please discuss.

I am going to say Dick Cheney. 

He transformed the Vice Presidency from a standby office to one of the most powerful and influential in the nation.

Has it ever occurred to you that it was originally that way for a reason?

Hubert Humphrey, and probably Henry Wallace. (Although Truman was 10000000x better and Wallace was very fearful and a socialist, but his civil right views throughs him into favor with me) and rockefeller, I guess.


LoL is anyone says Dan Quayle.

Probably Calhoun in terms of influence in his career. As far as who did the most estimable work while VP, color me clueless. Gore and Cheney I think were the only ones that did much really.

Rockefeller would be my favorite...

Vice Presidential "Greatness" is almost an oxymoron.
