Overemphasizing Importance of VP?

Only 69% of Americans can name the current Vice President. Meanwhile gallons of ink are being spilled covering the veepstakes for McCain and Obama. Are we placing too much emphasis on the importance of Obama and McCain's running mates?

I say no.

The vast majority of that 69% doesn't vote and elections are decided by those who do. But maybe I'm wrong.
