...openly contemptuous of the post, noting that he did not consider himself to be stand-by equipment; when the job was offered he quickly accepted it. Robert Kennedy in 1964 convinced his friends how really awful he thought it would be to serve as Lyndon Johnson's running mate. Not long afterward he tried, and failed, to muscle his way onto the ticket...
Henry Jackson, at 64 one of the most powerful members of the Senate, startled his closest advisers last week when he told them privately he wanted to be Jimmy Carter's running mate, but he does not think the Georgian will pick him.

The vision of taking all those delegates in one fell swoop by choosing Stevenson as his running mate, must loom very large in Carter's mind as he creeps towards the 1505 votes needed to nominate...
