There's way too much emphasis on weird bankshot theories of what you can accomplish with a VP pick. Focus on two well-established impacts: — A bit of help in their home state/district. — If you win the election, the odds your VP will be the party's nominee some day are high. — PolitiTweet.org

Number two which is by far the most consequential aspect of the pick is one that historically gets ignored, sometimes with really bad consequences (Andrew Johnson becomes president) or at least mildly perverse ones (Obama picks Biden because he'll be too old to run). — PolitiTweet.org
