Ticket Stubs

Thank you, Mr. Speaker - I see much wringing of hands amongst the news media on the question of John Edwards' failure to be a factor in the American Presidential election thus far, while the less popular Dick Cheney is making his presence felt. My question, for whatever Member is able to answer it, is as follows: has there ever been an election where it seems reasonable to believe that either the victorious candidate would not have won with a different running mate or that the runner up would have won with a different running mate? Or are Vice Presidential candidates as irrelevant as, say, Vice Presidents?
