To obtain some answers, you should have posted your own map....
And you should have dropped VP picks, as it seems rather impossible to have Chuck Hagel running with Clinton and not very probable to have Romney running with Lindsey Graham.

I think Clinton/Strickland, Romney/KB Hutchinson and Obama/Biden are more realistic tickets.

Here's my prediction in this case:

317 - 142 - 79 : Romney is able to win the South-Western states and Wisconsin, and even to keep Virginia and NC and Florida (yes !), due to 3-way races that are very difficult to predict.
Minnesota, Missouri, Maine would also be very tight races.

My running mates make perfect sense.

Lindsey Graham is an experienced Senator, familiar with the workings of DC.  He is knowledgeable in national security and defense matters.  He is conservative enough to hold the Republican base, yet not the type of conservative that would frighten independents.  He is an excellent pick for Romney  who lacks DC experience and needs someone with national security and defense credentials.

Chuck Hagel makes sense for Hillary Clinton as he has been a maverick Republican Senator and is not seeking reelection to the Senate.  He opposes the war in Iraq.  Hillary may be able to use the fact Hagel is a Republican and use this to appeal to non Democratic voters.  I cannot see any major mainline Democrat willing to be on the ticket with Hillary running against Obama, and having a part in splitting the Democratic vote.  This would be a disaster for their future in the Democratic party.

I agree with Winfield about Romney, but not Hagel.  I just think it's too unlikely for him to do that; you could have another Republican like Chafee, though.

Assuming Obama is the Democrat, then he might be able to win some bare plurality victories in LA, MS, AL and/or GA.
