Bullock helps Clinton out in the West where she's weak especially in Colorado while Walker goes for conventional Rodgers as standard female pick if Ayotte or Martinez might not be interested.

326 - 212 Iowa is close I say it flips to Walker but it could either way, NC is close too but probably goes to Walker.

Same as yours probably, except switch Iowa and Colorado.

I'd add North Carolina to the Democratic column.

Rodgers may seem conventional right now. There would be a lot of scrutiny to the truth behind her bio, and her dishonest SOTU response. Plus, Bullock would wipe the floor in the VP debate.

That stuff is small I don't think it will matter at all and she seems like a clean safe choice for the GOP if they want a female on the ticket. She's boring and bland and won't excite anyone in the pub base though and definitely nowhere near a wonk like Ryan.

Yes, that stuff would fizzle out. But she would fail the basic VP litmus test of, y'know, being qualified for POTUS on day 1.

Why in the world would Walker choose her?

The winner depends on the political environment, and the strength of the campaigns. Walker would be the change candidate, while Clinton would represent someone who can iron out the kinks of Obama's policies.

The Veeps probably won't make a big difference. An argument that one isn't ready to lead can apply just as well to the other. Rodgers will be in her sixth term in Congress, a member of the leadership, so there's a strong claim for her on the ticket as someone who could help a Washington outsider govern. Bullock would be a first-term small-state Governor, but he would likely be a good surrogate in the west, make the Clinton campaign briefly appear more ambitious, and add a new face to a ticket led by someone who has been a national figure for 25 years.

This might just lead to an electoral tie, with Walker taking the two most conservative Obama states (Ohio and Florida), his home state of Wisconsin, and the neighboring state of Iowa.

Why in the world did McCain pick Palin?
