Predict the 2 tickets.

What is with all the Kasich predictions? Kasich will not be on the ticket! He maybe had a chance until this past debate, when he completely blew any chance he had away. All he came across was in the debate was a complete grouch. He underwent a complete personality change (or maybe he just finally settled into his real personality). He said the moderators did a fine job. He's too moderate, or at least he's presenting himself that way. He's out.

Rubio/Haley and Clinton/somebody

Vice-presidential candidates do not swing states. I doubt that even a highly popular John Kasich as VP nominee will make a noticeable impact in Ohio. Whether or not Republicans win there, his presence on the ticket won't be the deciding factor.

And should the GOP ticket carry Michigan, it will be as part of a national landslide and not because of who the vice-presidential candidate is.

Exactly. Kasich has other strikes against him, but Rubio picking Kasich or another mid-western person simply for the sake of picking up Ohio/mid-western support is a false notion.
