one of the problems george mcgovern had, he asked a number of people to be his running mate and they all turned him down. many of them were close friends he served with in the senate. for a variety of reasons they didn't want to be on the ticket. so i mean, if you think about vice presidents and vice presidential candidates have done, you know pretty well in their later careers, representative ryan is now the speaker of the house. edmond muskie lost in '68, became isn't of state. so you have able people, have opportunities. i think a calculation about how likely the ticket is to be successful and also how you feel about working with the person at the top of the ticket, the very much of a personal relationship. the last six vice presidents have been able to achieve very good personal relationships with the president. if the personal relationship goes south early on, it's not going to be a very fun four years for either principle. so the people have to really work at it as well. i think you have to take that into account in deciding whether or not you want to put your name forward. >>
