What state would Hillary win that Gore or Kerry didn't carry?
Advertisements [?]
Kerry lost two states (NM and IA) Gore officially won (3 if you count Florida...) and won one that Gore lost (NH - maybe two if you count OH), but what state would Hillary carry that either of them couldn't?

AR you say? Nope, there have been several stories indicating that she isn't very popular there. She can hardly be considered an Arkansas native at this point. She's a senator from NY...Next...

OH? Not very likely. This is a right leaning state that was close because of a massive amount of resources put into it and a really terrible economic situation. Clinton carried it BARELY in '92. I don't know the margin in '96, but Gore and Kerry both lost by smaller margins. There's very little reason to believe she could take this state, especially against a halfway charismatic puke (I'm not talking Frist here). Even someone like "Latin for Asshole" Santorum might connect well with fundy types.

NM? Maybe, but it's a small state...won't win it by itself...

IA? Seems to be trending rightward. Huge push by the pukes to get fundies out. I don't think that'll stop after this election.

NV? No.

Instead I could see her losing PA and WI, and maybe even MI.

I still stand by my original assessment - she'd be a disaster.
