1. I think so many Democrats would LOVE this guy that Clinton would not
win a VP vote at the convention.

An Obama/Schweitzer ticket would really make the Clintons look like old politics. They would be such a LIKABLE ticket that Democrats would rally around them.

4. Schweitzer brings the least amount of baggage to the table
and he pulls in a lot of those in the West who are petrified of an "anti-gun" stance that the Republicans will no doubt try to hang around Obama's neck.

The only con is that MT is only 3 EVs.
