	Running mate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A running mate is a person running for a subordinate position on a joint ticket during an election.
		In cases like this, the governor and lieutenant governor are not considered running mates because they are not elected on the same ticket.
		Running mates are often chosen to balance the ticket.

	Mate (beverage) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mate (pronounced /'ma.te/) is a highly caffeinated infusion prepared by steeping dried leaves of yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) in hot water.
		Drinking mate with a metal straw from a shared hollow calabash gourd is a common social practice in Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina and southern Brazil.
		Then the mate is turned upside-down, and shaken vigorously, but briefly and with gradually decreasing force, in this inverted position causing the finest, most powdery particles of the yerba to settle toward the preparer's palm and the top of the mate.

	For Kerry aides, McCain would fit bill as running mate - The Boston Globe
		Above all, the aides hypothesize that by choosing McCain as a running mate, Kerry would energize the election, create a weeks-long buzz in the media, and, perhaps most importantly, attract the support of swing and independent voters from both parties.
		Those within the Kerry camp acknowledge that picking McCain as a running mate would be fraught with political peril, both from within the Democratic Party as well as from the Republicans.
		Representative Nancy Pelosi of California was quoted as urging Kerry to choose a running mate by May 1 to more effectively combat the Bush campaign, and Representative Bob Menendez of New Jersey said that Johnson had asked for his opinion of Edwards, Gephardt, Richardson, and Vilsack.

	Esposito For America Webquarters: The Running Mate
		Although the choice for running mate is seldom officially announced before the party convention, it is one of the most crucial decisions made by a candidate.
		Traditionally, the presidential candidate must look at each possible running mate's ideology, geography, temperament and status within the party; he or she must then be subjected to polls, focus groups and similar tests in order to judge electability.
		After months of screening, the presidential candidate is at last called into a meeting by the head of the party and assigned a running mate based upon whose dad contributed the most money.

	Running Mate
		RUNNING MATE examines their portrayals of the first woman ever to appear on a major party Presidential ticket.
		Drawn from a study of 172 cartoons in 12 U.S. newspapers, RUNNING MATE reveals the gender stereotypes which hounded the Mondale/Ferraro ticket from the moment she was chosen.
		Her political and legislative record notwithstanding, Ferraro was first and foremost a woman in a situation where, according to one cartoon, "any woman will do." Ferraro's nomination was compared to the selection of winners in the Miss America pageant.

	Franklin & Marshall - Running Mate Frenzy
		The office of vice president was considered an irrelevancy in the nation's politics, and the selection of the person to run for the vice presidency was not an important decision.
		The evidence is clear: voters almost never vote for a presidential candidate because of a running mate.
		The odds are high that one or both running mates this year will themselves run for president one day.

	Running for Running Mate
		Graham won't be the only vice presidential prospect whose prime appeal is the prospect that he or she might be able to "deliver" a state.
		But, if Kerry is as smart as he has proven to be so far in this campaign, he won't play the old game of picking a running mate who might--emphasis on "might"--help him carry a particular battleground state.
		Rather, he will follow the lead of Carter in 1976 and Bill Clinton in 1992 and pick a vice presidential prospect who helps to energize the party's base voters nationally, and who adds ideas and energy to a ticket that will be needing more of both those commodities.

	Bush Picks Cheney as Running Mate; Former Defense Secretary Accepts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		HILADELPHIA -- Texas Gov. George W. Bush asked Dick Cheney to be his running mate in a pre-dawn telephone call Tuesday and the former defense secretary accepted, forging a Republican presidential partnership that bridges two generations of Bush family politics, a highly placed Republican official said.
		Bush has faced questions about whether he is ready to be president, and advisers believe a running mate who knows his way around the White House -- and around the world -- would fill in the so-called gravitas gap.
		He was mentioned as a possible vice presidential running mate for Bush in 1992.

		In addition to picking a Southern running mate, Kerry is also working hard to shed his liberal image and appeal to conservative voters.

		Meanwhile, the Bush campaign may be ready to score some political points off Kerry's search for the perfect running mate.

		This was such an obvious issue that Johnson, on the March day he was named to run the vice presidential search process, asked Kerry whether there was anything from the primaries or his Senate experience that ruled anyone out.
