2. Ohio

[Barack_America]

3. Michigan.

[TahitiNut]

19. Yup. It didn't have to be but the FUBAR sure makes it one.

If McCain picks Romeny for VP, the Democrats can kiss Michigan goodbye.

:grr:

[Condem]

4. IOWA

[Avalux]

5. Virginia

Obama will take it this year.

[rwheeler31]

[Tribetime]

[JackORoses]

10. What about those four big, empty Great Plains states (Wyoming, Montana, and the Dakotas)?

I heard somewhere that Obama might turn at least one of them blue.

[Zynx]

15. Not a fucking chance in Wyoming or South Dakota.

Montana, maybe depending on how bad the economy gets. North Dakota I saw a poll, but I don't believe it at all. We lost the state by 22 points last time. I don't see it moving that much. Montana is much softer in terms of Republican support.

11. Pennsylvania

[Zynx]

12. Wisconsin.

Always has been. Always will be.

13. Pennsylvania

14. the one that cost Al Gore the presidency... (not Florida)

New Hampshire.

[WillyT]

16. Euphoria !!!

:shrug:

[existentialist]

17. North Dakota

It's crazy, and it only has 3 electoral votes, but if Obama is the nominee the polls show it going Democratic for the first time since 1964.


And I believe that this is symptomatic of something that is happening nationwide.

18. Texas

Yes, Texas.

A lot of Texas conservatives aren't down with John McCain, so they might sit this election out.

In the meantime, Texas Democrats are getting mobilized and actually getting a few people elected here and there.

If Dems were to win Texas in the GE, it would be a game changer.

New Mexico
Colorado
Minnesota
Iowa
Missouri
Arkansas
Louisiana
Wisconsin
Michigan
Tennessee
Ohio
Pennsylvania
West Virginia
Virginia
Florida
New Jersey
New Hampshire

Did I miss any?

[frogcycle]

21. Hawaii

only I'm thinking a hammock between two palm trees rather than a swing...

[aaroh]

22. How about all of the dominant black vote states?

Mississippi, NC, SC, Alabama, Gerogia, Virginia

Obama takes out 90% of the black votes and those states have 20-30% african americans.

[Abacus]

23. Nebraska

yep, Nebraska. Current polling is McCain:45% Obama:42%

[nevergiveup]

24. My In-laws

are Nebraska Republicans and they are all for Obama including my 94 yr old Mother-in-law. She has never voted for a Democrat for president. She says McCain is just a senile old fart and she loves Obama:shrug:

[davidpdx]

25. Oregon

I know Flying Squirrel named it already, but it is important to recognize that Oregon could be a swing state. 2000 and 2004 were both fairly close.
