I think the GOP nominee had better set up their campaign headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, maybe buy a second home there. New York, New Jersey are not winnable. The GOP nominee must win Ohio, and Missouri, Virginia as you say. Michigan might be in play but in the end the unions will probably steal it for Hillary.

you pretty much have nailed it.

I do not care if the GOP candidate walks on water, NJ is lost, NY is lost, and Pa is gone.

It simply does not matter who either candidate is, thats how it will shake out.
Lets suppose the (hillary!) dies, okay?

Lets further suppose that by some twist of fate, that screaming Dean gets the nomination and Gore returns as VP.

They will win all of those states, and it doesn’t matter one whit who the GOP has running.

Its anyone but the GOP, and the electoral votes are there for them.

We need everything that we had, period.

Be prepared to have to say “President Clinton” again for another 8 years.

After that, it won’t matter.

Wouldn’t you say that Florida is also a must win in addition to Ohio, Missouri and Virginia? Or do you think a Pubbie can take it without Florida?
