26. When it comes to impossibilities - AK and AZ have my vote!
But in the realm of possibility, hands down is NC because I've lived there.

North Dakota or West Virginia would still be sweet.

Montana just went pink, so I must admit that it would be a Coup.

And Georgia... would be a peach!

28. You are right. That's why I voted for Florida.
I have no illusions that Barack can take Florida. The fix is in, permanently. Still, that would be sweet, if impossible.

I think it might be! At least too large without a major challenge to the fraud.

23. Mississippi
or Alabama.

With Selma putting him over the top for the state.

OK, not realistic, but you asked which would be the most sweet to win.

For all the people who got trashed in the national media as toothless, shoeless, inbred racists because they voted for Clinton in the primary and for all the previous Bush supporters who have come to their senses.

35. Texas
Noriega is within 6 points of pulling even with Big Bad Pawn. Obama is up to 40%, and climbing. This is the first election in decades that I can remember the National Democrats sinking any money into Texas, instead of just leaving us to flounder against the well-financed Republicans, and it is having an appreciable affect.

But it'll never happen.

50. PA
I lived there all my life, know many people there, all voting for McCain. *I* know PA as having been a prejudiced state and it still is apparently (not talking about Philly-didn't live there).

A close family member said he could not vote for a black, others say it's the abortion thing, but I know it's a code word.

The slovanic peoples, of which I am one, seem to be among the worst. Not just against blacks - also any of the darker skin ethnic groups - different religions, etc..... the older ones most especially; the younger ones more broadminded and tolerant. I'm talking about PA now; I don't know how it goes in other states.

The intolerant seem to be tolerated.....

VA, NC and GA are changing to Dem due to changing demographics - relatively upscale Yankees moving there.

Indiana would be very significant. Getting WV back would be nice, as well.

Ever been to a hockey game? I have! I've been to lots! Former Hockey Stepmom! :rofl:
Pressure!
Pressure!
Pressure!
Pressure!
Pressure!
It's just ONE more puck that he needs to sink. Just one more goal. And I'm not one for stopping the game when the spread gets too wide.
