In the United States the President is elected by the electorial college and the people of the United States. The President has the ability to influence the choice of his party, but certainly not to select them.
Symbolism over substance. Every other president wanted to have his own identity. B. Hussein Obama has no identity so he chose Lincoln's.
No- Lincoln did not own slaves. He lived his entire adult life in Indiana and Illinois where slavery was not legal so he could not own slaves even if he wanted to .

The Presidential Candidate's main purpose in picking the Vice President is "balancing the ticket." To "balance the ticket" is to find a VP Candidate that deposits values into a Presidential campaign that will bring support from voters that were not previously inclined to vote for that candidate. In most every United States presidential election within the past 30 years, the presidential candidate chose a VP candidate with almost opposite views and beliefs so that they might hoard the votes.
