Why Obama-Hagel Makes So Much Sense
As I mentioned earlier today over at LRC, an Obama-Hagel ticket is making more and more sense. After taking a look at the electoral college calculator, the Democrats win if they (1) win Iowa, (2) win Colorado, and (3) win Omaha's Congressional District (Obama could also win w/ NM and NV if they lose CO). Based on that, Hagel will deliver at least one of Nebraska's 5 electoral votes (maybe even take 4 out 5 there) and help shore up Obama's support in Iowa, where he is strong but could always use more help. Hagel could also add a couple of points across the board for Obama (and maybe even help in MO), giving Obama a lock.
