I can see it breaking for Bush in a big way of the stars align but I think I would have to look in a parallel universe to see it breaking big for Kerry. Almost all of the red states are solid Bush, lots of blue states around the 50/50 range.

You think Bush has a chance in Minnesota?

My gut tells me that Minnesota is trending GOP, and it has been. There is no sign of trendy liberalism to a significant degree in the Twin Cities metro area. That is a killer for the Dems. I think Minn will be slightly more GOP than the nation.

Regarding Ohio, we will have to see how the economy plays out, and the class angst issue plays out. Ohio is the premier state for manufacturing. The place makes tangible things, not intangible things. McKinley might not recognize California, but he would certainly recognize his home state, to this day.

I agree. I think the dam could burst in Bush's favor, but not in Kerry's. I also think MN will be in the Bush column this time. MN & GA have been trending R, while AR & LA have been trending Rat.
