Ooh! Obama/Talent! Think of all the states he'd lock up!



He'll also get the loser vote, which could swing several other states.

No.  Clearly you don't understand.  Here is a graphic illustration of a McCain/Hutchinson vs. Obama/Schweitzer ticket:



As you can see, the Hutchinfront radiates gloriously out of Texas, even warming the frigid hearts of the Illinois voter.  Safe McCain.

I think if both candidates were allowed to have about 5 or 6 running mates, you could spread them out geographically, such that the outcome of every state was determined by the geographical proximity of the state to the running mate's home state.  Too bad the constitution doesn't allow for that.

The Constitution does allow that.

1836 plan, eh?

It would seem to result in the VP being of a different party from POTUS, unless the electors were unfaithful.

One of the many VPs would be in the top two, no?
