Its one of those where you need to know the economic situation. With a good economy Hillary would win, otherwise Christie will have a decent shot at it.

Martinez is the stronger Hispanic VP candidate, but it wont change either New Mexico or Nevada, but maybe Colorado.

Florida, Ohio and Colorado would be th crucial states in this one and you cant decide those between Christie and Hillary without knowing the economic situation. They are pure toss-ups.

Hillary takes Virginia. Christie has a better shot a Pennsylvania than other Pubs.

Such a ticket would turn out the women and Hispanics in droves and combined with Obama campaigning also the Blacks and Asians.

I don't see how Christie would win here, because in 4 years nobody cares about Sandy anymore and his approvals will probably be around 50% again.

Sure, but they wouldnt all be voting Dem with a female Hispanic VP candidate with charisma and a compassionate image. Hillarys popularity will be down too.

And let's not forget that Hillary was a divisive figure in 2008. Moreover, she's an establishment type candidate and Christie could perfectly lead a populist "anti-establishment" campaign.

Is "Big City Mayor" really enough to get one a VP slot?  I'd imagine that Castro would be open to the Palin treatment of "completely unqualified" in that scenario.

That's a tough call, but it will be pretty respectful win!

Hillary's toughest match-up IMO.

Depends on the economy most likely.
