Which states could Kerry or Edwards carry that Gore couldn't?
This is really a two-part question:
1. Can Kerry or Edwards (or Kerry/Edwards, perhaps?) maintain the states won by Gore in 2000? 2. Can Kerry or Edwards pick up other states (ex: the Clinton '96 states that were lost by Gore in 2000)? If so, which ones?
In NC, it's not like Bill Clinton or Al Gore lost by big margins here.
If Edwards is the nominee, Bush would have to spend major time and money trying to ensure a win in the southern states that would easily go to him if Kerry were the nominee.
Of NC voters was in late November (22-24) Bush 52% Edwards 45%
Nationally Edwards has moved more than 7% up since then, though one would assume there would be less movement in his home state. If the latest CNN poll is accurate though (54-44 Edwards-Bush) nationally, I believe he would carry NC easily. Of course if hes winning by 10% hes winning so many other states that NC does not really matter.
