one of the current candidates for President. It's very rare for a winner to choose one of his primary opponents as his running mate. Everybody here keeps proposing Dean/Clark, Clark/Dean, Clark/Kerry and the like. From what I remember, this almost never happens? let's look:
Gore/Lieberman vs. Bush/Cheney Clinton/Gore vs. Dole/Kemp Clinton/Gore vs. Bush/Quayle Dukakis/Bensen vs. Bush/Quayle Mondale/Ferraro vs. Reagan/Bush Carter/Mondale vs. Reagan/Bush
and THAT was the last time a presidential nominee picked a primary challenger as his running mate. 1980.
I don't know when the last time before that was...
Carter/Mondale vs. Ford/Dole McGovern/Shriver vs. Nixon/Agnew Humphrey/Muskie vs. Nixon/Agnew Johnson/Humphrey vs. Goldwater/Miller
I don't think any of these VP's ran for President in those years.
