You forgot Biden was born in Pennsylvania. 

Ohio, New York, and West Virginia are all safe too.

However, since he didn't choose Dodd and McCain might choose Lieberman, Connecticut is in serious danger zone.

Omfg get some ads up in Hartford quick Obama before it's too late!

But seriously, I love the idiots that think Biden "locks up" PA. Sadly, Biden would likely win here very easily (assuming no major gaffe) if he was the Presidential nominee. He's the running mate. He's not going to make a big difference here.

Well, in Biden's defense he is an older, more Catholic VP and Pennsylvania is an older, more Catholic state.  So he might be an "ok" surrogate for local media and probably one of the better VP choices for Obama in this state.

I mean, we're talking tenths of a percent here though.

Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Romney with neighboring state advantage turned on.



Obama 299
McCain 223
Too close to call 16

What would be the best ticket possible with that option turned on?  A president from TN and a VP from NY?

Maybe the VP should be from Nevada? 

One has to consider that "countering" picks could be chosen, like if you choose Nevada they could choose California, or if you choose TN they could do KY.

I wonder what the most invincible pick would be (there's probably a couple) under those rules.
