How did Romney do in CD8? That's the key.The “swing” is the key.If Romney took it by 6 and Trump takes it by 12 that would be noteworthy.

Isn’t it the northeastern counties? It looks like they went Obama in 2012.

Agreed. BOY would it be great to win a state we weren’t expecting!!

Cause I dont trust CO or PA 100 percent.

There are states that I think are in play that are not considered in play.

MN CD 8 voted:

2000: Gore: 49
Bush: 44

2004: Kerry; 53
Bush: 46

2008: 0bama: 53
McCain 45

2012: 0bama: 52
Romney: 46

I live in a different district close to Mpls-St Paul area, my daughter who voted for 0bama twice is voting Trump. My granddaughter, who can’t vote yet, said that all the kids are supporting Trump. When I asked why, she said, “Hillary is a liar and dishonest. Trump might say stuff, but he loves the country and speaks his mind.”

I’m assuming Romney lost in MN-8. In 2012, Democrat Rick Nolan ousted Republican Chip Cravaack in that district. Cravaack held it for a single term after winning it from James Oberstar, some 200 year-old Democrat guy who held it since Abe Lincoln was in office.
