Obama: 458
Palin: 80

Explanations:

LA:  Biden as a White Catholic who would win the black vote unanimously vs. a tool like Palin.  I would go out on a limb and say he'd win the Cajun vote.

AR, TN, KY, WV:  Still either very Democratic (AR/WV) and fairly Dem (TN) and Biden definitely appeals to white blue collars plus these states are not as religious as some may think.

PA: D>60% and DE: D>70%:  Biden on top of the ticket would electrify the votes from Scranton to almost OC, MD plus I could see him winning PA 3, 4, and 12 out in Western PA due to the ... Yeah, what Jack Murtha said.

Temptations:

SC (Upstate and Bob Jones pulled me back), MS (Obama not on top), and WY

LOL

First of all, it's Biden vs. Palin. Secondly, you think Obama would beat Palin in KS, NE, AR, TN, LA, KY and WV? That makes no sense at all! She'd do better than McCain in those states!

The Southern ones you mentioned were definitely helped by racial issues.  Now a Mike Huckabee would do better than McCain and would definitely hold those states except WV vs. Biden.  NE and KS are not really that religious and I'd think would be turned off by Palin.

Do you guys relize how ridiculous it is to think that Kansas would vote for Biden? Palin is the perfect fit for most Kansas residents. Republicans have a 300,000+ voter registration lead in Kansas. A Democrat would have to get over 80% of Independant support to win the state... :/ 

I think Biden would win the Kansas "Mods" (Republicans) against Palin.  Giuliani or Romney?  i'd agree with you.
