What Red States Are In Play? What Blue States? |
|
Red states that are in play
Colorado Nevada Florida Ohio West Virginia
Blue states that are in play
Wisconsin Iowa Pennsylvania Minnesota
I am concerned... We need to hold all or almost all the Blue States Gore won in 00 and win one or two more...

13. Registrations are closed now. The ground game goes on with local |
|
volunteers. At this point campaign staff are not as important. Yes there are some other states that are more "must win" or "probable win" than Virginia but that doesn't mean the state is lost. Also Mark Warner has a strong organization in Virginia that will be working on Kerry's behalf right up to the election.

11. I think so too - and possibly North Carolina - read this from another |

thread about Virginia.
My sense is that these people are not rushing in here to vote for President Bush," he said. "There is a very strong anti-war sentiment in Arlington and Alexandria (story is about new registrations in Northern Virgina (not Bush country)

3. I Forgot NH- My Bad... |
|
NH was decided by 4,000 votes in 00...
Also, I don't think VA is in play.... The Kerry camp is pulling their resources from VA...

yeah, NM and MN are in play but my gut tells me they will stay in the Democratic column...
I'm starting to like the Electoral College map less and less...
Ceding the whole south and mountain states puts us at a disadvantage...
Grrrr.........
