Obama would thump Watts. Switch the ticket, and maybe Steele would have a better chance, but I think Obama would still win.
Not only is a Watts a well-liked former congressman but a former football star. No way he loses to Barack Obama and AL SHARPTON! Did someone miss the fact that AL SHARPTON is Obama's running mate?
I usually ignore the VPs when it comes to match-ups, unless they are truly a distraction. In this case, Sharpton isn't much of a distraction since he will simply mimmic Obama (both do well in the media). JC, for how good he is, would not be able to overcome that.
