I think McCain's going to take Midwesterner and (faux?) populist Tim Pawlenty from Minnesota. If McCain can win Minnesota, he can even lose Ohio and take the election. It makes Obama even more vulnerable in the other Midwest swing states like Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin. Gotta agree on the Biden call. He's a moderate, high-profile Washington insider who can allay voters' fears about the inexperienced Obama. Personally, I think Obama should pick Chuck Hagel, because Hagel's a pissed-off Republican and Obama needs pissed-off Republicans to make up for the redneck Democrats who can't get themselves to vote for a person of African ancestry. Hegal would also bring in much of the anti-war, fiscally conservative, civil libertarian Ron Paul vote, a small but very active political constituency. It would also make a strong statement that Obama is truly interested in reversing the nasty polarization that's infected the American political scene for decades.
