He won the first two elections and lost the third.(I did not include John Adams in this list because although he was understood to be a vice presidential candidate in 1788 and 1792, as were several who ran before 1804, officially there were no vice presidential elections before 1804; they were all officially presidential candidates. For those keeping score, Mr. Adams won the Vice Presidency in 1789 and 1792, won the Presidency in 1796, and lost in 1800. Also, although Thomas Jefferson was Vice President when he was elected President in 1800, it was never his intention to run for Vice President. However, he won the Vice Presidency in 1796 because he received more votes for President than John Adams' running mate, Thomas Pinckney.)


On what basis are vice presidential candidates chosen by major parties?

The vice presidential candidate is chosen by the party's presidential nominee. The presidential nominee will often pick a vice presidential candidate by choosing someone who complements them and whose strengths cover the nominee's weakness. For example, Obama, a relatively young and inexperienced candidate, chose Joe Biden, an older, experienced politician.
