Nah

Gov. Schweitzer with his wife

I got nothing against Bob Casey, in fact I'm thrilled he endorsed Obama, but I don't see him as a VP.

1. If we need him to win PA, we're not winning the general.
2. He's a junior Senator -- outside of PA, nobody knows him.
3. He's pro-life.

I could see Brian Schweitzer, though. It's not that Montana is necessarily a battleground state on its own -- it's more that Schweitzer (I think) compliments Obama in a good way. He's independent, just like Obama, but he's also got that swashbuckling, shoot-from-the-hip attitude that plays well in entire Mountain West, which collectively should become a battleground, if not this election then in elections to come.
