Six things

"Joe Lieberman: Here’s what to do if you’ve just been nominated for vice president"

Never forget who gave you the opportunity to run for national office.

Don’t flip-flop on positions you took before becoming the vice-presidential candidate.

Speak out inside the campaign.

Don’t believe the cynics who say that the vice-presidential candidate doesn’t have any effect on the outcome of the election.

Don’t forget the main reason you are so grateful and excited to be running.

The time from now until Election Day will be the most physically and intellectually demanding of your professional life.
