Just a reminder: Electorally Dems are not restricted to the Gore/Kerry

[featherman]

playbook. States that the Dem ticket carried in 1992 and/or 1996 that subsequently went GOP in 2000 and 2004:

West Virginia
Ohio
Kentucky
Tennessee
Georgia (1992)
Louisiana
Arkansas
Missouri
Colorado
Nevada
Montana (1992)
Florida (1996)
Arizona (1996)

In what promises to be a down year for the GOP brand and plenty of money likely for the DEMs and a broad slate of down ticket Dems, I certainly think a very ambitious campaign strategy may be in the offing for the eventual nominee.

1. Some folks seem to think we are...

If that was the case, why not just have a coronation for McCain!

Enough people have seen the Republican party for what it is... all those red states should be considered as "in play".

Dean is on the mark with the 50 state plan.

2. Also...

for the first time in quite a long time, I believe Virginia and North Carolina are also in play.

3. There are no red states anymore.

Only a few that aren't nearly as red-faced as they oughta be.

4. If the African American Vote gets out

YTou might see SC and MS change too.
