Arizona
Texas
Georgia
Indiana
North Carolina
Tennessee
Have all gone pink. And don't forget...these are based on "likely voters" and based on polls that are often land-line (and older voter) heavy. Many minorities are screened out of "likely voter" polling and anyone who only voted in the last election probably is not considered a "likely voter". (So anyone who was first registered in 2008 might not be counted).
But, in my opinion, a state going from dark red to pale pink (without turning rose first) is very like much closer to a tossup than a pink.
TPM is leaning more Democratic than most maps but it is my favorite.

NYT is now showing Missouri as pink as well.

The Huffington Post has NC as a tossup now.

(10,336 posts)Maybe Gregg can beat Pence for Governor and Donnelly can beat Mourock for Lugar's Senate seat. Maybe a pipe dream, but hey, you never know. I have also considered that any of the races could drive turnout and produce for the others??
