When do the two major parties select their presidential and VP candidates?
The two major parties in the United States, the Democratic and Republican parties, typically select their presidential and vice presidential candidates during their national conventions, which occur in the summer of election years. Delegates from each state gather to formally nominate their chosen candidates based on the results of the primary elections and caucuses held earlier in the year. The presidential candidates often announce their running mates shortly before or during the convention, solidifying the ticket for the general election.

How can a vice presidential candidate help balance the ticket?
In the US, presidential elections place the nominated people from the two major parties, on the same ticket. This means that when presidential hopeful, Barack Obama headed the Democratic presidential ticket, his vice president nominee was Joe Biden. The main "balance" created by Obama, was to have a seasoned well known democrat, Biden, paired with a newly known presidential candidate, Obama. The voting public then sees a ticket whereby their votes can be made based on a Chicago, Illinois new comer, Obama and a well known Biden.There are better examples of this balance attempt, however. Perhaps the best one was when President Lincoln ran for reelection in 1864. Lincoln was assured to receive all the Republican votes, and he decided the best way to gather Democratic votes was to have the Tennessee Democrat, Andrew Johnson as his running mate. This was a great balance that would attract both Democrats and Republicans to vote "together" for a well balanced ticket.
