Although there's a lot of time before November, what concerns me is the weakness Bush shows in New Hampshire and West Virginia.

The state of the steel industry in WV is obviously costing him support but NH is another story. Given the GOP advantage in that state, I'm wondering why Bush is struggling there.

Let's say that Bush loses WV. He needs to pick up a state somewhere else. I'm looking at some of the other states (Iowa, Oregon, etc) and I see those tilting towards Kerry at the end.

For the first time, I'm not feeling very optimistic about the election.

NH is a tight state that neighbors MA so Live Shot was on the TV all the time for decades.

And WV was a state that was amazing we won last time.

I think we'll take WV again though in the end.

I also think that by then, it won't come down to these small states. We're going to win big or lose big.

Guess those steel tariffs didn't really help out in WV. With PA, its hard to tell. If Bush wins and doesn't get WV, they'll end up the loser.

NH has never liked Bushes.
