No, when the president is running for office. They have the opportunity then to pick who they want as their running mate and eventual vice president. Much like right now with Obama and Biden, they stay within the same political party.
No- they run as a team and are elected together.
No, the President and Vice President are memnbers of the same political party. This was not always true in American politics, but it has been true for the past century.
helps. It brings different views from both sides

John Adams was elected president in 1796 and Thomas Jefferson was the new vice president.
They had no effect on the election of a president but had complete control of who would be vice-president.
you can't because they have opposing views
They nominate before every election, which is every four years.
It made picking the president and vice-president alot less harder.
national nominating convention
It doesn't because vice president Hendricks was in a different political party than the president at thay time.
Originally the President was the person that won the most Electoral College votes and the Vice President was the person that won the second most Electoral College votes. Unfortunately this usually resulted in the President and Vice President being of different political parties and working toward opposite goals.
