I think Virginia is doable with a good ground game and strong candidates further down the ticket, and even states that Bush tried his hardest to win but always ended up in the RAT column by 1% -- like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania -- swung to the GOP in 2010 and now look winnable if we do it right. IMO, Nevada, Iowa and Ohio, Colorado are wildcards equally divided between the two parties that could go either way depending on a variety of factors. The only "McCain state" the Dems think they can win in McCain's home state of Arizona. They won't take it, especially given the excitement of Dems in 2008 vs. 2012, but I hope they blow a ton of money wasting their time in the state and trying to get out the "Hispanic vote", as if all Hispanics are like blacks and will mindlessly vote for Obama.
On paper, our chances for victory are very, very good. But I have a sinking feeling about Romney, and that he'll find someway to screw this up. Ick.
Like pick Lindsey Graham for a running mate...
There is still enough time and stupidity for the 'pubbies to blow it.
You seem to have a lot of liberal friends! ;d
Romney will have to blow it. He could certainly do that, you can’t not worry, but if he doesn’t he’ll win.
Basically he is Tom Dewey. It will be either Dewey redux or Dewey’s revenge.
As for the Bush states, prospects in NM don’t seem too good. But he has a good chance to win the rest of the them and NH which was a Bush state in 2000.
