1. Wait, could Obama win McCain's state?
Is that possible?

4. You should take replace one of those with Montana...
...a lot of rugged independents in that state are going to go for Bob Barr and that other guy Ron Paul endorsed.

Maybe make some room for North Dakota as well.

21. That's the only upset that's credible at this point
in the state of Montana, Ron Paul is on the ballot as a third-party candidate under the Constitution Party - and Ron Paul Revolution signs still abound. In fact, on Highway 93, there are almost more Ron Paul signs than those for his Republican opponent, John McCain. And in the polls, Paul is still drawing 4% in MT.

Supporters say Paul could draw as much as 8 to 10 percent of the vote there. It's a wild card...and we love it!

22. Yep. I'll go with Kansas
as the most astonishing blue state on Tuesday.

In 2008 some 130,000 Democrats participated in the caucus which was held on Super Tuesday, and many of those people stood outside for as long as three hours in snow, sleet, and freezing rain to take part. Four days later, on a mild, dry, and sunny Saturday, a whopping 20,000 Republicans showed up for their caucus. Think about it. `130,000 Dems, 20,000 Repubs.

A girl can dream, can't she?

26. Sure would be nice!
I'd love to see it and I think it will be close.

But even if we don't get it this time - we can turn this state blue in 2012 easily.

16. GA. Never looked at it until today. Obama has tons of AA voting there and needs a low amount of the
white vote to win. My second choice is MO or NC.

17. Good news, I think!
Weather report is calling for 1-2" of rain in SC for next 2 days. If the rain depresses voter turn out, then I would think it would decrease the # of republicans voting since they're already depressed anyway. Of course, the dems would stand out in a hurricane to vote, so who knows, maybe Obama will take SC! I'm guessing a lot of Freeper heads would explode since they'd take the bad weather as a sign from gawd!

32. Obama winning TX would change politics in this country more than anything else
Repukes would have to revamp their whole platform. They should have revamped it already. However, if they were to lose TX they would just have to scrap everything and start over. Sort of like what the Dem's had to do with Mondale's loss.

31. Arizona would be the best from a "fuck you McCain" perspective
But, out of those listed, I'd like to see a massive win in Georgia because that would likely mean that pig Saxby Chamblis was also gone. Texas would also be good in that respect (losing Box Turtle Cornyn), but less likely. We need to lose some more Repuke Senators.

Including THIS one......
