Flame me if you will, but they make it sound like Kerry will have a hard time winning some of the other states....Well, he's going to win all the northeast (New Hampshire excluded) and the West (Alaska excluded), so the states listed above are where both of them will campaign entirely.
11 states will receive all the attention in the upcoming election and some of those will continue to be damn tough for Bush....Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin are all still Democrat leaners. New Mexico is a tough call, but I think Bush can win it. Florida does not seem to be a walkover for Bush at this time. New Hampshire should go to Bush and the rest are all rust belt states hit hard by job losses. I just don't see the ease of the win yet. If we have a repeat of 2000 but instead, Bush loses Florida and wins New Mexico, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin, he still loses the election.
