"
I think that both can flip:
New Mexico
Colorado
Missouri
Ohio
Edit to add Iowa. Forgot we lost it last time.
Edit to add: Arizona - Both can embarrass McCain in his home state.

I think Hillary can also flip:
Arkansas
Nevada
Virginia
Florida
West Virginia.

I think Obama can flip:
Alaska I just feel it, don't know why.

1. I think Obama can get VA,GA,CO,NM,MO,OH,ID,FL and Kansas

6. He would have to put Bob Grhm on the ticket to win Florida

He is not going to win Georgia The rest ar doabla.

8. Do you think he would win Kansas because of his family ties?

I just don't see GA flipping.

10. Something is going on down here when it comes to Obama

I wouldn't bet the farm on it, but I wouldn't be surprised if he can spin it.

2. Both: Ohio, Missouri, Iowa.

Any more from either would be cushion.

3. You think Hillary can flip Arizona against McCain?

Does she have some kind of fucking super powers or something? Ohio, I can see for either. '08 isn't '04. They no longer have a corrupt Sec. of State in power. New Mexico I could see too. They don't have a governor who doesn't want the votes counted. (Let's face it, Richardson was keeping his powder dry for Hillary - don't kid yourself.) Oh and Virginia, yeah the Democratic candidate can probably win that thanks in large part to John Kerry who worked his ass of to get Jim Webb elected in '06.

7. Yes, I do think Hillary can win Arizona. Just a hunch.... Obama may be able to as well

I just think McCain will *NOT* fare well...having his ass handed to him in his home state would be icing on the cake.

4. She couldn't win Iowa and SC in the primary, and she hasn't won the nomination yet? n/t

[jlake]

5. Not sure what that has to do with my question. But okay.

9. Colorado

Obama can win Colorado ... I believe that Kerry actually won my state in 2004.

But, I know scads of unaffiliated voters and moderate Republicans that would drown themselves before they would vote for a Clinton.

And think about this: if Clinton is the nominee, the odds of Udall getting elected to the U.S, Senate will be 50-50 ... at best.
