Overall, I'm quite optimistic, but remember, in 1972 McGovern won only Mass. He couldn't even win his home state. He probably thought Minn. was a lock.
The campaign has not begun. There are no locks.
Yes there are "locks". No matter what happens Bush will carry these states. This is my point. We are the majority, we need to start acting like it. It is the left that has to run a perfect campaign to win. They never have.
