A Watts pick would have been seen as tokenism of the worst sort. Would have backfired badly.
Hilldawg takes it.
Your right about the pick by McCain. It wouldn't have made any difference whatsoever. I also think that your map is right on. Hillary would not have targeted Indiana or NE 01, and I don't think she would have fared quite as well as Obama did in NC. I do think she would have fared better than Obama in WV, MO, and AR. She would have also been competetive in TN & KY, but she would not have been competetive in Montana or the Dakotas. And I also think her popular vote victory would have been about 6% rathar than 7%, but that's pure speculation on my part.
