Oh, he may very well double his raw vote take. The question is, will he affect any of the swing states.

This ticket will get about 1 or 2 percent in the general and will probably have little impact on the EC votes, except maybe in the state of New Mexico, since Gary J is still popular there. Weld wasn't the best choice for VP IMO, but he won't do damage to the ticket.
