I know the polls in Hawaii don’t look good, but the R there has won two statewide elections. You’re right about Michigan, but the trend there is good. I believe Brown will beat Fauxcahontas is Mass. and that we will win ND. We currently have 47 and will lose Maine. My optimistic bet right now is that we end up with 55.
That would be sweet. No matter how you look at it, there is cause for optimism, unless you’re a Democrat of course. I think Brown can take Massachusetts too but I’m not going to count it as a net gain just yet. Hawaii seems like it will be a tough nut to crack.
