Senator John McCain to win the Republican nomination and then the presidency.<br \/>\nThe rest of the candidates will probably be looking for Vilsack\u2019s support as it may be the difference in winning and losing the state of Iowa. Vilsack\u2019s support in the primary may even pay off for Vilsack, as he may receive the nomination for vice-president from any of his fellow party members.<br \/>\nPrevious vice-presidents have been nominated trying to help the presidential candidate win a state or two. In the 2000 election, Dick Cheney\u2019s home state of Wyoming helped get George W.
