The Annals of Improbable Research U.S. Presidential Election Algorithm has already predicted that Michael D. Huckabee, Timothy J. Pawlenty, David H. Petraeus, Marshall C. Sanford, Haley R. Barbour, Sarah L. H. Palin or Pyush Jindal, if nominated by the GOP, will beat an Obama/Biden ticket. Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan is listed as one of the 18 possible contenders and “could have electabilities greater than the Obama/Biden ticket if (he chose) the appropriate vice predidential (sic) candidate.” If I’m right, Ryan could also greatly increase his electability in their algorithm if he unseated Jim Doyle as Wisconsin governor in 2010.
