John,
I remember well the rivalry between Jack Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson in their primaries.  Maybe a higher purpose motivated them to work together while they could.  There were some bitter feelings there as they competed for the nomination.

However, most VP candidates start off wanting the presidency, then become a VP candidate after it's apparent they won't win the nomination of their party.
