Dean: Democrats Could Take the West

AZ. NV, NM, and COLO. That's the best the Dems can hope for any time soon (plus the coast).

That together with the Kerry states gives 281 EV, and you know IA and OH will be close again, and FL as long as they don't $20 billion of federal money to buy their votes ("hurricane money") right before the election. Montana voted for Clinton in '92, and the Democrats control the state government, one of its Senator positions, and are giving the other Senator a fight.

MT isn't important in Presidential elections for the Dems, but the Senate seats are, and so is the state legislature to a lesser degree. Basicaqlly, they're not non-existant in MT.

If Schweitzer can win a governor race, a Democrat can win them in a Presidential race.

Of the 9 political groups, 8 support a higher minimum wage, and 8 support universal health care.

Every state where Bush got 55% or over, should not be touched by the Dems. Its a waste of money.

That is possibly the wisest thing you've ever posted. :-)

I would qualify that when a nominee is named.  If Bayh is the nominee, by all means, spend money in IN.

Good thing the Democrats gave up on NH, which went 62.49% for George HW Bush (9.12 points better than his national average).
