In this week's
National Journal, which hit the streets this morning, its "Congressional Insiders Poll" asked, "Which vice presidential nominee boosts his or her ticket's chances more?"
The results were:
Democrats (33 votes)Biden -- 33 percent
Palin -- 45 percent
No Difference -- 21 percent
Republicans (39 votes)Biden -- 0 percent
Palin -- 100 percent
No Difference -- 0 percent
My favorite comment from a Dem: "The ultimate swing voters in this race -- white women -- have moved from narrowly Obama to comfortably McCain. If that trend line somehow holds, Obama would have to post the best Democratic numbers with white men since 1976. As for Biden, the least consequential vice presidential pick in the modern era was Jack Kemp in 1996. Biden is on pace to match him."
