On second thought, Bachmann/Palin.

Mainly because they'd be so inept that no one would possibly let them do anything of note.  They'd just sign everything Paul Ryan wrote, those cute little dears.

So, a net win.

Libertarian, but Bachmann in the poll.

Obama/Biden, although I'd vote for the inevitable Bloomberg run in that scenario.

Just for fun, I made this map to illustrate the poll by transferring ten points from R to D based on the 2008 map.  I don't think the last slide would be quite this bad but it's fun to look at.  Remember that Obama wins 7% more of the popular vote than in Reagan in 1984, yet Bachmann has almost two and a half times more EV's than Mondale.

Obama/Biden (D): 509
Bachmann/Palin (R): 32

In July, Palin decides not to run for President and endorses Bachmann.

Bachmann wins the Ames Straw Poll, wins Iowa, wins South Carolina and almost everything else.

Bachmann then picks Palin as running mate, because she endorsed her.

I lol'd a little bit when I read that.
