sure. i noticed those also. those are the places where we go on offense (ie, we might win them but don't have to have them). at least wisconsin and PA, i don't know about new jersey....
the flip side of this is that the dems have the same problem...if they drop the ball on any state they should lock up, we win. such is the stakes of the game when the parties are at rough parity.
looks like we are going to take the home state of the D VP nominee again, then?
Most definitely. NC rarely ever votes Democrat for president. Besides, we LOATHE Edwards. He hasn't done a thing for our state except to rob doctors of their money and caused insurance premiums to go through the roof.
