what would the best choice for a ticket be(geographically speaking)

[MaC]

I'd say Republicans Jeb Bush/Olympia Snowe
Democrats Jim Doyle/Harry Reid

Only, geographically speaking, not taking the candidate or their veiws into consideration.

Jeb Bush would solidfy Florida and keep the south solid, possibly increase numbers.  Snowe could turn some New England states GOP.  I think there's a EV in Maine that almost voted Bush.  They might also get Connecticut and New Hampshire. (if only they supplied a large amount of votes.

Doyle would solidlfy Wisconsin, and turn more of the Midwest Democratic, Reid would get Nevada and some of the long-shot western states like New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado.

you really think so for the Dems opebo?  I would think they'd try to break into some of the mildly Republican states by nominating someone from the west, or something like that.
