Pennsylvania going red/Atlas blue is the Republicans' fool's gold, same as Democrats' fantasy of painting Montana blue/Atlas red.
Speaking of fool's gold, as a Dem, I'm pretty sick and tired of the "OMG GUYZ TEXAS WILL BE BLUE/PURPLE IN JUST A COUPLE MORE CYCLES!!!!111!!!"...which has been said every cycle in the past 20 years.
You and me both, friend. It's just laughable that so many Democratic posters on here think that Brian Schweitzer can be the progressive savior who can paint Montana blue/Atlas red. I don't get the fascination with Montana's meager three electoral votes.
It's easy to overestimate the electoral votes of Montana because the state has so huge a chunk of territory. It has no more electoral votes than Delaware.
Maybe Al Gore would have won the 2000 Presidential election had he gone for the four electoral votes of new Hampshire.
