Have you ever not voted for a presidential candidate because of the person they picked as VP? If so who was the presidential candidate, and was the VP?
I know I never have and never would because it's the person who will be the president I vote for, not the the VP.

I know people who voted for Nader and who listed Lieberman as one of the top reasons.
Also, I know Republicans who stayed home because they were embarassed by Palin.
