These six states appear to be the only bright spots for Democrats.

I vote Colorado.

Montana is great news, but it doesn't mean anything nationally as I doubt Montana turns into a swing state in 2008.


Montana won't be competitive at the presidential level anytime soon, but Burns could be vulnerable in 2006, especially if Schweitzer runs.

Burns barely won in 2000, when Bush won the state by 25 points.

Colorado is a different story, I think this will be a Dem leaning swing state by 2008.

I doubt it. More like a Republican-leaning swing state.

Colo. was only 2 points from the national average, so it should definitely be targeted in 2008.

On the other hand, perhaps Kerry got a bounce from having been born there.
