Storyline

Governor James Reynolds Pryce (Tom Selleck) is running for president, but he still hasn't chosen who will run with him as a vice presidential candidate. His wife (Nancy Travis), his campaign manager, Lauren (Laura Linney), the wife of one potential candidate (Faye Dunaway), and a fundraising manager (Teri Hatcher) are all trying to influence his choice. But the fact that he's been in romantic relationships with all of them is not helping him make an impartial and practical decision.

Short Review

Running Mates would lose in any primary that included Altman's Tanner '88 or Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing, but it's a lot more interesting than the Harvard-Yale game.
