Without Barack Obama on the ticket in 2016, how will the Democratic candidate perform in Appalachia? Specifically, what will the PVI rating for 2016 be for the following states?:
West Virginia
Kentucky
Tennessee
Missouri
Arkansas
Louisiana
Louisiana isn't part of Appalachia but I know what you mean. Hillary Clinton will make things interesting in WV, LA, AR, and KY and may flip TN and MO.
Appalachian states typically include:
New York
Pennsylvania
Ohio
West Virginia
Maryland
Virginia
Kentucky
Tennessee
North Carolina
South Carolina
Georgia
Alabama
Mississippi
