Eh, both tickets have flaws (Option 1 would be painfully uninspiring and dullsville; Option 2 would be slightly more firey, but have a higher chance of going completely off the rails)

I think Biden/Schweitzer are superior candidates; and would have a higher chance of winning though.

Yeah, basically this. Perhaps Biden/Malloy would be better.

Nah, if anything Malloy would be worse than O'Malley. Malloy has even worse approvals than O'Malley's OK-ish ratings. Plus he hasn't really had any signature legislation (apart from gun control), unlike O'Malley's record.

I like Schweitzer, but he may become a Palin like embarrassment on the national stage. Who knows?

I dunno, one of the things that would detract from a good Biden ticket would be a Schweitzer pick, considering his awful speech at 2012's DNC, and that he's to blame for Montana going blue/red this year. A better choice would be Gillibrand or even Grimes. Biden doesn't need someone who's very experienced, he's been in office since 1974, so he can get away with picking a more inexperienced VP.

Was Schweitzer's speech panned then? I mean understand a personal dislike (that folksy schtick tends to grind), but I'm seeing nothing that it was genuinely disliked by people. (Although that whole senate thing was a whole bunch of skullduggery of epic weirdness.)

I don't think Grimes would want to surrender a Senate seat that quickly though (assuming she wins in 2014)... I think Gillibrand would make a good safe seat.
