NORTH DAKOTA & MONTANA are both winnable in the GE with the right DEM Candidate!
Both of these states have two Democratic Senators, and one also has a Democratic Governor. These are folks that won national elections in order to win their seats. But you have to offer the folks from there something other than what Washington has to offer. These are states that want change, and Obama offers them just that. Don't think that it can't happen, because, yes, it can.

NORTH DAKOTA SENATORS





Kent Conrad

---------------------------

MONTANA SENATORS



John Tester


Max Baucus


MONTANA GOVERNOR



Brian Schweitzer

2. That's it.....
That's why I'm not sure why folks these states aren't winnable....just because of our sorry past.

Run a charismatic Black mixed race man with a funny name and big ears who was against this war from the start, and watch what happens!

7. I think that he can close that number.......Baucus is seeking re-election this cycle....
meaning that he will help get them to mark that ballot for a Democratic President, IMO. :thumbsup:

10. and changing it some. We lost Florida by 400,000 votes in 2004.....
and I don't believe that we would carry it this year with either candidates that we have. Republicans came out by 200,000 more during the primaries.

14. True, SD went to Bush in 92 and Dole in 96, then Bush in 00 and 04...
Perhaps at some point they will get tired of picking losers. A little hope?

There are dozen states Obama can win that Hillary can never win, states that most Democratic presidential nominees have failed to win.
