...atmosphere here is less high tech than high school chemistry lab, and Global Solar's days in this cramped Tucson, Ariz., facility are history. The company is shifting production to a sparkling factory just a few miles down the road. The new facility is fast enough to churn out 40 megawatts' worth of thin-film solar panels a year, more than 10 times Global Solar's previous capacity...

The right choice can add balance to a nominee whose roots may seem a tad too effete to go over well in the heartland - or add some coastal glitz to a rural candidate's prairie-flat steadiness. As it happens, the last two candidates to make their picks with geography clearly in mind - John Kennedy in 1960 and Michael Dukakis in 1988 - were both from Massachusetts. And they both picked Texas Senators - Lyndon Johnson and Lloyd Bentsen - for the second spot...
