As he walked to Marine One this afternoon, President Obama was asked for an NBA Finals pick.

"Lakers in six," he said.

When he picked UNC to win the NCAA tournament, many noted that North Carolina is a swing state.

Here, the politically savvy pick would be Orlando, which is on Interstate 4, which is the jump-ball of Florida politics:

"We kind of laughingly call it the highway of heaven for the candidates, because if they win I-4, they win Florida," said Susan MacManus, a political science professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa. "The I-4 corridor is the new growth part of the state, and the most politically competitive part of the state."
