But Pence only said yes to being veep.

The Indiana governor stiffened and brushed off the cheeky buss in favor of a hearty handshake and thumbs up.

The moment was reminiscent of another un-conventional PDA: the over-the-top lip lock Al Gore and then-wife Tipper shared at the 2000 Democratic National Convention.
