But What About Vice President?

Voters in New Hampshire will have the opportunity to choose a vice president when they go to the voting booth on Jan. 8. Only, it probably won’t count for anything. Presidential candidates choose their own vice presidents.

But just the same, three candidates are on the ballot for vice president in the New Hampshire primary.

The vice presidential candidates are:
John Barnes Jr., a Republican from Raymond, N.H.
William Bryck, a Democrat from Brooklyn, N.Y.
Raymond Stebbins, a Democrat from Weymouth, Mass.

All three told The Telegraph of Nashua, N.H., they know they won’t actually become vice president. But, they said, they act like third-party candidates in the race, shining the spotlight on important issues. In some ways, they’ve picked up where Ralph Nader left off.
