It certainly looked that way on September 12, 2001...

But throw in all of ME, CT, NY, IL, and CA

No, the country was far too polarized.

If the labor market was better, I could envision a Bush +8 or Bush +9 type scenario in 2004.

Either remove 9/11 from the equation or have him handle it better and you'd get that.

If Bin Laden had been captured right before the election, I can see this result occurring.

by Fall 2004 public opinion was about evenly split, with it being more of a liability than an advantage in North New England, Pacific Northwest, and probably MN and WI.

With a bin Laden capture and an even worse Democratic campaign (possibly with a different nominee), Bush could have achieved this result.

Delaware going Republican?  No.

Why not? In 2004 there was no Joe Biden on the ticket and Bush lost the state by only 7 points (53-46), just like New Jersey.

Of course, if you're saying Bush had a lower ceiling in Delaware....
