The key difference being that the Latte states are winnable, the upper south is not. 45% in TN instead of 39% is still losing.
Hillary can win MO though in a decent D year whereas Obama needed an utter wave. Same with AZ and AR.
Honestly, I think the GOP winning CO and the Dems winning Arkansas and Missouri would be great for our national environment.......I would love to see liberals stop talking about how Republicans are just uneducated rednecks and Republicans talking about "real America" and how they win in "God's country" or something like that. Shifting the electoral map like that would do a lot to defuse this pesky rhetoric.
