It Is Hard to Find a Vice Presidential Candidate We realized that looking for a vice presidential candidate was not easy

but very important. The vice presidential candidate elect will be president in a situation where the president elect is permanently absent. Besides, the vice presidential candidate shall be able to increase the votes. That was why many of president candidates arrange a team that assigned to find some considered potential names base on the considered criteria. From the list, the president candidate will be able to choose anyone that considered to be proper and match. Still, some mistakes in choosing were appearing. Carefulness and sharpness We use to see the model of S because most of the information we have came from there. !c "ain was tending to choose #oe $ieberman, but his closest staff against it because of the fear of being re%ected by the social conservative society. !c "ain chose Sarah &alin since she was considered to be able to draw the vote of the feminine who felt disappoint for the failure of 'illary "linton on becoming the &resident. &alin was rashly chosen towards the convention, apparently without deep research. !c "ain admitted that he was only met her once before she became his vice president candidate. (n fact the choice is a mistake since she was seemed to be completely loose in any debates with #oe Biden. Biden was chose by a team to cover )bama*s weakness, such as the maturity in political world, to cover )bama*s shortcoming in the political foreign, and his relationship with the labor community, a huge +emocrat supporter. Franklin + ,oosevelt -F+,., in /011, wouldn*t like to go forward with the figure who was his vice president. 'e chose 'arry S Truman, a senator with preeminent achievement. When the +emocrat re2uest Truman, he re%ected it, he still wanted to continue his work in Senate. F+, kept on insisted him to be his vice candidate, and said 3( don*t want to4, Truman should responsible for the future of the party. Truman no longer was able to re%ect it. F+, was elected for the fourth times and in 5pril /016 F+, past away so Truman was administered an oath and became the 77rd president of S. (n /018 election, Truman won9 he defeated +ewey, even though the :allup polling institution predicted his loose. The research of ;6 historians -<==8. determined the best S president of along time. Truman was eligible in the fifth position, under 5braham $incoln, :eorge Washington, F+,, and Theodore ,oosevelt. (t was proved that F+, was very keen in choosing his vice. The experience of Indonesia Bung >arno felt there was no one proper to replace Bung 'atta who was resigned. !r. Soeharto chose his vice president candidate himself, and then discussed it with the :olkar and 5B,( faction. !r. Soeharto choices mostly were accepted, e?cept in /087 when @aro wanted to be the vice president candidate. 'abibie was also re%ected in /007, but he was accepted in /008.

(n general session of !&, /000, 'abibie*s responsibility report was re%ected by some of the !&, members, including from :olkar faction, :us +ur chose !egawati as his vice president, although he was lean to choose a figure from :olkar. (f his vice president is from :olkar, it is uncertain that the vice president dared enough to bring down :us +ur. The president election in <==1 candidacy was not as sensational as in the president election in <==0. First, many parties may submit its candidate of presidentAvice president because the minimum limit to nominate the candidate was only 7.= percent of the total vote. (n +ecember <==7, !egawati met the general chairman of &B@ and some !oslem figures in @ in the &esantren 5l 'ikam -(slamic school 5l 'ikam., !alang. SBB already chose #> before midC5pril <==1. :olkar party was %ust chose the president candidate in <=th of 5pril <==1. ( met Wiranto in 5pril 7=th at <7.16. +uring that meeting, Wiranto noticed the decision of +&& &: that approve WirantoCWahid as the candidates in &resident election <==1. (t is only 5mien ,ais that was sensational during the vice president candidate search by conveying vice president candidate and some names that considered being potential. The pair candidate 'amzah 'az and 5gum :umelar that carried by &&& was appeared at last. The Sensational of President Election 2009 @owadays, at the end of 5pril <==0, not even one vice president candidate is appearing. The most sensational party in finding the vice president candidate is &+(C& since )ctober <==8. Some names has been showed, inter alia, +in Syamsuddin, ,yamizard ,yacudu, and 'B D. The national summit meeting was delayed couple of times and finally held in <6 th of 5pril <==0, but still the proper vice president candidate could not be chosen. Even, there was a possibility that &+(C& may not nominate !egawati. This might be happened because &+(C& couldn*t nominate other president candidate without coalition with other parties. (f, &+(C& already determined ,ymizard -for e?ample. as the vice president candidate, the vote for &+(C& maybe upraised and !egaC,yamizard may be accepted. Sof%an Winandi stated, for the business world, the pair of SBBC#> would be the ideal pair because #> is considered to mastering the economic problem which is the estuary of all problems we are facing. 5ccording to him, many economic decision were 2uickly made by the role of #>. Businessmen want SBB to go forward together with #>. (s that possible to push #> being SBB*s vice president candidate againF 5lmost absurd. SBB needs :olkar party to strengthen the position offered in +&,. We should admit, among the names nominated as the vice president candidates of SBB by :olkar parties, only #> who is mastering the economic matter. #> role also determine in education policy and peacefulness in 5ceh. So the best pair -among the notCreallyCgoodCpair. which is provided cannot be implemented because they are chemically not match. 5lso it was caused by the offended factor. #> was offended by the statement of !ubarok about <.6 percent of the vote gained by :olkar. SBB was offended because #> stated he could be better and faster. (s that possible that those figures defeat themselves and stepping back to move forward together, cooperating for the shake of the nationF (t seems that the fat is in the fire.

!aybe other figures of :olkar party forbear and not benefited themselves by the chanceF The figures of :olkar are used to prior themselves before the party.
