Get your MoJew workin'
With a few primaries and caucuses under their belts, the pundits are already floating ideas for vice presidential candidates. On NPR, Diane Rehm's weekly confab of political gasbags gave their opinions on a possible Clinton-Obama/Obama-Clinton ticket.

The Washington Post's Andrés Martinez, a fellow at the New America Foundation and a former LA Times editorial page editor, has floated the most interesting election concept -- a Mormon-Jewish presidential bid. (That would set Evangelical heads to spinning.)

"Because he has plenty of executive experience, Romney could get away with picking a senator," Martinez says. "And why not break all the rules and choose one who also has experience as an ineffectual vice presidential candidate? That's right, I'm referring to Joe Lieberman. Imagine that, the country's first Mormon-Jewish ticket."

Considering the dismal accuracy of the punditry in this race, it's obvious anyone can play this game -- even you and Crawler.

My fantasy match up? Mitt-Giuliani vs. Obama-Hillary (in no particular president-VP order.)
