Matchup Predictions: I think Obama/Biden v. McCain/Romney
I think Obama is down to Biden to Clark. Although I have disagreed with some of his votes, I think his positives greatly outweigh his negatives. He is an expert in foreign affairs and he will be a bulldog for Obama on the campaign trail (and also funny).

Clark, while he looks good on paper, is not a good a campaigner or politician.

I think today's poll numbers will make McCain pick Romney as his VP. He will need someone to try to help him win Michigan and hold Colorado. I do not think Pawlenty can deliver Minnesota for McCain.

What do you guys think the matchup will be?

1. In this economy. there is no way they put Romney on the ticket
He buys companies and lays off the employees.

3. Obama/Richardson vs McCain/Pawlenty
Although Biden would be fine, too. Count on Pawlenty--he's pretty much a done deal.

5. I think Minnesota is out of play for McCain and he realizes this.
No way does adding Pawlenty cut Obama's 17 point lead there. If the state were more competitive, I think McCain could pick him, but it seems kind of pointless now.

11. VPS
I like the Idea of Biden as VP.Having Biden go after Mccain 24/7 on foreign Policy Is a great Idea.
Remember a fact Is Biden actully had proposal to solve Iraq by dividing It Into 3 countrys and give
them equal control over the oil.If Mccain picks Romney it Is a attempt to win Michigan.
Let's remember Romney won the Republican primary by promising to bring Jobs back and Mccain was on
the opposite side.Romney would be a gift for us because he Is a huge flipflopped.He went from a
Liberal Republican to a Bush Republican.With Mccain's own backtracking to appeal to relgious
conservatives we can call them like they called Kerry.Plus some of the relgious right would have a
trouble supporting a Mormon.They wouldn't vote for Obama but more votes for Barr,or staying home help us.
