I never said a VP candidate had had no effect. But JFK could have picked plenty of others that would have helped him in places Nixon was gonna get. What I really mean is that some nominee who was way, way down and out in the polls was never rescued by his VP pick and vice versa for the undisputed front runner being crippled by his VP pick. If Dan Quayle didn't sink Bush in '88, no one could have, especially given the fact that Lloyd Bentsen was so much better and was running in the same election.
