I think the best way to examine the issue is to ask whether or not Obama would win every single state that Kerry won in '04, as Obama has to do that - ans then some, in order to win. Obama would not win in the south or mid-West (with the possible exception of New Mexico). This simple calculation shows the odds are stacked against him.

If he had Richardson on the bottom of his ticket he might be able to.
