Why would it matter if Biden or Schweitzer or VP? They don't actually have any power other than tie-breaking the Senate, they would most likely have an effect of a barking dog on a leash.

I'd say Romney/Biden, but I could see the Democrats in the Senate putting somebody in the VP slot just to screw with Romney for the next 4 years (like Schweitzer or somebody).

They can't do that. As per the 12th Amendment, they have to choose one of the two people who received the most electoral votes for Vice-President.
