She was to write that when she told the President that the 1964 convention would not be as exciting as the 1960 version , " because everyone knows what is coming , " he replied , " Oh , I don't know , there might be a change in the ticket , " before walking away . And , she wrote , when a week later , Kennedy , sitting in a chair in her office , started talking about the reforms he wanted to make in government if he was re-elected , he said , " To do this I will need as a running mate in sixty - four a man who believes as I do ... It is too early to make an announcement about another running mate -- that perhaps will wait until the Convention . " When she asked whom the announcement might name , she wrote , Kennedy did not hesitate . Looking straight ahead , he said , " At this time I am thinking about " another , more moderate , southerner , the young governor of North Carolina , Terry Sanford . " but it will NOT be Lyndon , " he said . " THERE WAS NO TALK OF DUMPING LBJ FOR 64. REAR ECHELON PARANOIA. CARO IS DRINKING TOO MUCH CARO SYRUP. DECADES FOR THIS CRAP, JOSEF?
