Daschle?
Then again...Barbour?
Daschle is too corrupt, so I think it would be much like this-
McCain would do amazing in the west and NH and Barbour would put many high 50s states over 60 - It would be the first time in American history where one party does progressively better with two candidates.

No way Obama chooses a spineless, washed-up ex-Senator like Daschle. He'll go with somebody like Jim Webb, somebody who has strong foreign policy credentials, or a governor/ex-governor.
If you have Jim Webb- that could win military and libertarian swing states. You will probably be able to keep all of what Gore won plus CO and VA...and FL
