Michigan. The GOP won't win Minnesota again for a looooong time (the last time Minnesota voted Republican was in 1972 and it was the only state Fritz Mondale won in 1984 against Ronald Reagan)

True, but the fact I cited is more food for thought.

Michigan is probably (slightly) more likely to go Romney, but I think the chances are remote for either state voting republican. "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" will haunt Romney in Michigan- the bailout is widely supported by dems, independents, and a good chuck of republicans, and it basically saved the state's economy. To win the state, Obama could just take Romney quotes verbatim and play them on a loop.

Minnesota seems to be a solid bet for the Dems. With Klobuchar running against only token opposition, it looks like the dems will sweep the Minnesota's state wide offices.

Klobuchar's seat is the only state office being voted on. The real question is if we retake the legislature, but with the state GOP a joke now and broke, it looks likely.

I doubt Romney will bother with Minnesota... at all.
