IMHO here is the road to the WH for Republicans in 2012.
These are the 2008 Obama states that need to flip to Republicans in 2012 in order to get to over 270. All the while keeping the states that McCain/Plain won in 2008:
Here are the states (with electoral votes) and Election percentages Obama/McCain from 2008:
- FL (27) 51/48
- OH (20) 52/47
- NC (15) 50/49
- VA (13) 53/47
- IN (11) 50/49
- MN (10) 54/44
- IA (7) 54/45
While keeping same McCain/Palin 2008 states and Democrats can still keep:
- CA
- NY
- PA
- MI
- IL
- WA
- OR
- NV
- CO
- NM
- MD
- DE
- NJ
- ENTIRE New England, and DC
But she’s going to red states who will vote for her in the general election, no matter what.
No, she needs the support of the red states in order to win them in the GOP primary!
