What red states should we target in 2012?

[bluestateguy]

I'm thinking of Arizona and Texas. Definently Georgia too; this time with a full court press.

[treestar]

1. Georgia and Montana

Then we'll have the whole east coast part of the south. And start working on that western part of the midwest - CO already, so now go for MT, ND and even Idaho!

[BlooInBloo]

2. Depends heavily on how things go in 2010. First things first.

[ccharles000]

3. South Carolina.

Obama did better in SC than TX

[UnrepentantUnitarian]

6. Nope, not here. Try Arizona. In-migration of Californians, etc.

South Carolina will have to be dragged into the 21st Century kicking and screaming. Even Georgia will go blue before we do.

[MelSC]

23. Charleston County went blue this election

I'm so proud!

[blondeatlast]

4. Arizona and Montana--and it also depends on who has class 3 Senators, of course.

Both our wretches are up in 2012 (AZ).

[rdmtimp]

30. Actually, McCain is up in 2010 (Kyl in 2012) nt

[blondeatlast]

32. Oops--my bad. We've got a nice field to run against a non-incumbent, too.

Surely the old fart won't try for another (but I put nothing past him).

[QueenOfCalifornia]

5. I don't

think we should shoot at any of them. :rofl:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

7. TX, AZ, MT, and MO.

Our future is with the Southwest, Midwest, and Rocky Mountain states. What it would take to win in the south simply isn't worth it, at least on a national level.

[SoonerPride]

8. Texas.

With an ever increasing Hispanic population and dying off older racist population, I think Texas is trending democractic in a big way.

[uponit7771]

9. Texas, a net gain of 2 - 3 million coast voters in the suburbs and Fort Worth is ripe for retaking

[crispini]

10. Texas, damnit! Think about all the EV's!

And there are TONS of boots on the ground ready to help in neighboring counties!

[JVS]

11. Montana and the dakotas

[Alter Ego]

12. Texas, Arizona, Georgia, Montana.

Mostly Texas. I want a blue Texas just to yank the Republicans' final leg out from under them.

[Barack_America]

13. All of them.

[iamthebandfanman]

31. damn right! aim high! n/t

[mrJJ]

14. Not 2012.... 2010!!!!

The 2010 ground work must be done first.

[tosh]

17. Agreed.

[Hutzpa]

15. Texas... Texas.... Texas......

then Georgia, but Texas is ready to move toward our side.

[texanshatingbush]

16. PLEEEEEEEEEZE make it Texas (for a variety of reasons)!! n/t

[DCBob]

18. Texas is ripe for the picking.

Almost could have won it this year.

[foxer]

19. Utah

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. Missouri

The numbers were so close there.

[Terran]

39. Second that

Slightly better turnout in the big cities would have made the difference.

[Kalyke]

21. Please, please help us in Tennessee.

I'm beside myself at our turn for the worst.

I think it's because we're virtually ignored.

Please help!

[Crowman1979]

22. Alabama, not all of the counties were red.

In fact all of the counties along US-80 east to west and Jefferson county were all blue. In Montgomery county where I live, almost 60% voted for Obama. So there is hope. That and we have a democrat replacing Terry Everett's seat, so we gained one in the US house. :D

[Flying Dream Blues]

24. Turn Texas Blue is already getting some momentum...let's do it! nt

[hamsterjill]

25. Texas, please

For those of us who have been putting up with the Bushies for what seems like forever, and who sincerely hope to see our state come out of the dark ages and become blue once again.

[Two Sheds]

26. Georgia, Texas, Arizona, Missouri

I'd give a little bit of play to Montana and the Dakotas.

[Left Is Write]

27. Why wait until 2012? We need to work on 2010.

[Erin Elizabeth]

28. We've already been targeting Texas for a while.

We're going to turn it blue. Give us maybe one or two more presidential cycles, three or four total including midterms. Should be all we need.

[dkofos]

29. I second Texas.

If we could only get rid of the machines.

[eissa]

33. Seal the west -- Montana & Arizona n/t

[TornadoTN]

34. Please some spare some money and help in Tennessee

There's plenty of us here that will join the cause - it's just that our state party has abandoned us and has gone AWOL for eight long years.

We're in the damn stone age again, after all the gains we have made on our own since 2000.

[Ozma]

35. Simple answer: Any and ALL n/t

[MilesColtrane]

36. Yes, all.

The Dean strategy works.

[Franco72]

37. Texas, Arizona and

keep North Carolina and Virginia blue

[Sebastian Doyle]

38. Diebold, Sequoia, and ES&S

Eliminate those pieces of shit and there won't be any more "red" states.

[Lisa0825]

40. TEXAS!!! Huge electoral vote prize, 2 major metro counties have turned blue,

and a growing Hispanic population. Texas will turn blue in 4 years!
