Yes, President Boren for Obama, just think of it: the reach-across-the-aisle midwestern ticket. Boren was a respected senator in Washington and has foreign policy experience. And he could be ready on day one to be President. Of course, he is somewhat aligned with President Clinton but if called I doubt he would say no. Or, a McCain-Keating ticket. I stil think, despite his verbal foibles, Frank Keating represented Oklahoma well -- he communicates with authority and has the conservative bona fides to appeal to the base.

After seeing how uninspiring he was as a candidate in 2004, though, I'd rather he switch parties and "help" John McCain. Robert, I think Wes Clark might get brought in if Hillary wins the nomination.

Sargent Shriver (1972 Dem) is kind of a hard pick. He was born in Maryland, which his ticket lost, but he was a Kennedy-in-law, and his ticket won Massachussetts I guess I should clarify that if you mean, has it happened with the two major party tickets, then post-Kennedy, the VP candidates whose tickets didn’t carry their home states were Miller (1964 GOP), Agnew (1968 GOP), Ferrraro (1984 Dem), Bentsen (1988 Dem), Kemp (1996 GOP) and Edwards.

(Has that happened before?)" Well, yes. It happens at least once every election. But John Edwards may have set the record for futility in 2004, when he failed to help his ticket carry his home state, county or *precinct.* (http://galleyslaves.blogspot.com/2004/11/2008-watch-john-edwards.html) “It’d be awesome just to see if he would be the first VP nominee that might not help carry his home state.

Its not going to happen for many reasons-the first of which is that they are both "Mavericks" McCain needs a typical republican to balance the ticket. How about Gen. Wesley Clark? I also hear Lance Cargill is looking to go somewhere else, unless he hasn't paid his federal taxes either.
