Sakaki, fair enough. I do think the poor economy in Michigan is the fault of local and state leaders there, who are mostly, if not all, Dems. At least that’s what my contacts tell me. As I noted in my last article, though Mich along with Minne and Wisc will go blue, I surely think Mich is in play for the GOP. How can it not be when Granholm is so unpopular and the thug mayor is a nat’l embarrassment? I cannot imagine Romney can hurt terribly. The northern part of the state is staunchly Republican. But we’ll see.
Have you visited all of these states? Curious. I have…multiple times
I have taken time to write an article solely about Ohio, live a state over, have family throughout the state and am there about twice per month. I don’t assume much. I know how it’ll play out, and the average union Democrat who is Catholic and socially conservative, no matter what his status is, is not going to “vote for change” when Barack Hussein Obama is the candidate, supports partial birth abortion, and bring the wrong “change.” And of course, the millions of Republicans will support McCain en masse.
New Mexico could go Obama, but hispanics will shudder at supporting a pro-abortion candidate, so we’ll see. McCain’s pretty popular throughout NM as the piece notes. He lives next door and visits often.
Colorado is more than Denver, Boulder and Aspen. In states where a very unpopular Bush won over a candidate (Kerry) far more moderate and qualified than BHO, you cannot assume the centrist McCain will lose to a naive radical. Eastern and Western CO are VERY conservative, as the state’s second largest city: Colorado Springs. I travel, observe, record and judge. I know a lot about the United States. It’s one area I have expertise, hence this series of article. I’m not worried about any “swing states” but perhaps NM and Iowa. And those two will not be enough for BHO to win, especially if McCain takes New Hampshire, and maybe Mich, PA, et al.
