Virginia, Arizona, Missouri, Colorado, Arkansas and Florida are in no way, shape, or form going Democratic in 2008, especially with candidates like Hillary, Edwards, or Obama.  The only foreseeable way I can see Democrats picking up a state like VA is if they nominate a right-wing Democrat like Zell Miller with Jim Webb as VP, and even that would be a tough sell in solid Republican states like VA or CO.

The states to watch in 2008 are Wisconsin, PA, Ohio, and possibly New Jersey (presuming Rudy gets the GOP nod).

Since the new battlegrounds are traditionally blue Democratic states, it is going to be extremeley difficult (and unlikely) for liberal, Northeastern Democratic senators like Obama or Hillary to capture the White House in 2008, even if Republicans nominate a poor candidate like Mitt Romney or Fred Thompson

Coupled with that, Democrats are vastly over-estimating the Iraq war, Bush's low approval ratings, and the 2006 Democratic takeover of Congress as somehow "indicating" that this translates into an easy White House victory in 2008.  I predict there are going to be some very dissappointed Demcorats on November 3, 2008.

You just accused Rob of being a Hillary supporter?

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAA!!!!

YOU ARE A F**KING IDIOT.

my, my.  If I'm such a "troll" then why do you, Jturd, Beano69 lurk in the shadows and wait until I post something and then come out of the woodwork with such naughty, hurtful words.  and yes, according to some of the posters on this forum, if you have a "D" by your name, then you MUST support Queen Hillary or else you're nothing but a troll and a fake Democrat

Now you and Rob go back to sucking Hillary's shlong like good little sheep that you are
