The only interesting thing about that article was that Team Hillary are still thinking about targeting AZ. The rest is sour grapes for the old Dem states of MO, AR, TN, KY and WY wishing they were still part of the action. If Hillary wanted those states she would have to run as a centrist Dem and not stake out the positions she has on immigration, gay marriage, etc. And in so doing she would actually open herself up to a serious challenge from the left, maybe even actually getting Warren into the race.
The irony is of course that even though the NYT describes Obama's path as "narrow", Obama targeted a much larger range than Romney. And it is likely Hillary will target a much larger range than the GOP candidate. She will certainly be targeting more than Kerry did. The last Dem to go for all those old south and border states was Gore, and we saw what that got him.
