We aren't that far from being a blue state and Social Security is a touchy subject down here.

We won back the state house and senate. We sent the Salazar brothers to Washington (although the start for John has been a bit dissappointing). Denver's Dem mayor, Hickenlooper, is enjoying an astronomical approval rating of 80+.
It may not be 2008...but by 2012 for sure.

If we could find a way to make El Paso county part of Texas, we'd be there already.

We're going to pick up some of Rocky Mountain states before we win back the south, let's nudge Colorado and some of the others in the right direction.

I think the cuts to the farm bills will help that.

9. New Mexico is only "red" |
|
if you believe 17,000 people left their warm houses to go stand in line to vote for judges, only, and didn't want to vote in a national election.

12. Arizona, in spite of JD Hayworth.... |
|
There is a slow, but steady shift occurring in AZ -- the northern part of the state is already pretty liberal.
It's the southern part, with wealthy retirees and conservatives that slows the process.
But with shifting demographics and populations, and an influx of Californians, I think that AZ will go Blue fiarly soon.

Way too much ignorance and way too many baptist churches here for the majority of the citizenry to vote for anybody but republicans.

St Louis and KSC are overwhlemingly blue already - we just need to drag the rest of the state into the present century.

16. AZ, NM, CO, FL, or OH |
|
FWIW, I don't see any blue states going red other than NH/VT (not sure which, it was the one that was red in '00 but blue in '04). I do think several of the red states above could go blue. Very off-topic, but having someone like Richardson on the ticket could easily bring in AZ and NM, and possibly CO and FL too.
