I'm wondering if anyone out there feels that this current administration, and the seemingly intense power taken by the Vice President has changed the way we may approach elections. To me, it seemed the Vice President was never much of a thought when it came to actual votes cast. Now that we see a Vice President very involved in so many different aspects of policy, could a person's selection of a running mate be more important now that it was, say, 20 years ago?
Cheney redefined the entire office of the VP, it is no longer a part of the executive branch.
Anyway, I don't know if Cheney has changed whether people will actually consider the VP in their vote or not. Cheney's power was due to Bush's shortcomings and Cheney's power-hunger. I don't think they way Cheney ran the office of the VP will continue with a new President and VP.
People should consider the office of VP. He's the second in command. Cheney does what every VP does. Like I said, the VP isn't just there to smile and lead the cheers when the President addresses congress.
I think you underestimate the power of that office. A lot of that has to do with the huge shadow Clinton cast.

I agree with this. VP is what it is.
IMO, Cheney could have implemented his agenda whether he was VP or Chief of Staff or some cabinet position.

Because the VP being a figurehead started in the Clinton administration? Take a look at some past VP's and see how many of them you say "who?" to yourself.
Has Cheney changed the process?
