yes, but he also has to take Florida and Ohio. I'm not saying he can't, I just don't know enough about him. But for sure, MN and WI are key in 2008. Because with Richardson on the ticket, we are going to do worse in the southwest.
I agree. I think Pawlenty would definitely take MN, IA, and WI and probably take OH and PA, negating FL. An alternate strategy is nominating Rudy, who would definitely taking PA and MI and probably keep FL. Two very different candidates who'd both play well in the electoral rich north, for different reasons. Of course, Rudy is a very divisive issue around Republican blogs these days.
