From Yahoo! News:
Speculation has been ramping up over who Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney
will choose as his vice-presidential candidate, as a top campaign advisor suggested
that his pick could come at the end of the week.... A study by Bernard Grofman and
Reuben Kline, political scientists at the University of California, Irvine, evaluated
the impact of vice presidential selection on voter choice. It found that the net impact
of vice presidential selection is at most one percentage point in total votes. And
in 2008, the impact was about one-half of a percentage - slightly lower than the historical
average.
