Saying MN is too liberal hasn't looked at the trends of the state, as No Dems 2004 and others have. In addition to what you posted, Bush carried 5 of the 8 CDs of the state in 2000 and would likely carry 6 out of 8 today (picking up MN-8 held by Jim Oberstar).

Bush also has a 60+% statewide job approval as of mid-December in MN. That would give him an easy win statewide in 2004. Bush expects to pick up MN, PA, IA, NM, OR, and WI in 2004.

Also Michigan? With a better GOTV effort than 2000 and the strength displayed by local candidates in 2002, similar to Minnesota and Wisconsin, Bush should be looking good, though the Muslim Arabs in Detroit may go big for the pro-Iraq party.

In the Granite State we hope to get rid of draft-dodging-Jeb-Bradley and replace him with somebody who voted for Reagan and not Mondale in 1984.

New Hampshire now sends four "Men" to Washington as representatives of the state. There is not a day of military service among them: isn't that a shame.

I would also add Michigan, Washington, and Maine as probable Bush targets in 2004. He should practically ignore the 11 other states, plus the D.C.
