I kinda doubt Chase would pick Blair as his running mate given...well...

Hey man, I'm not the DNC! Tongue

Interesting that both men are former Republicans - and had been sometimes bitter rivals during the War.  A Chase nomination by the Democrats in 1868 isn't far-fetched, but even in that case the Democrats might well have nominated Blair for VP - being more concerned about balancing out the ticket than anything else.
In this timeline, with Reconstruction a bit more in the background, maybe Blair can tone down his reactionary rhetoric.
