Mondale's mastery of the important resources of time, energy, information, expertise and proximity to Carter made him the most influential of all Vice Presidents. Light measures holders of this office from Henry Wallace through George Bush against the Mondale standard and concludes that the ultimate impact of the Vice President is still constrained by the President's willingness to listen."-website description.
