Tennessee has been fully dead since the retirement of Bredesen in 2010, outside of a couple house districts.
West Virginia, outside of the governorship and MAYBE the third congressional district, will be dead as soon as Manchin retires.
As far as Kentucky goes, well, it's only not dead (outside of the governorship) because McConnell is such a terrible senator (his approval rating is LOWER than Obama's in KY!).
Louisiana is close to dead already outside of New Orleans, and will be dead if Landrieu loses.
Missouri is not dead. It has no problem with electing democratic governors and democratic senators. It has consistently been trending republican at the presidential level over the last 20 years, but it hasn't bled down to statewide races at this point.
Arkansas looks completely dead at the presidential level, but a lot of that has to do with Obama. We'll have to see how it acts in 2016 when he's not on the ballot. In terms of other races, the governorship and the senate races do lean republican, but are definitely winnable for democrats.

Tennessee is the most dead, with Louisiana not far behind.
