TNvolunteer, how about you actually give us some proof as to why you think that New Hampshire is a Democratic state?
It doesn't vote for Republicans anymore. Next question?
That's...that's stupid.

Ohio, Virginia, Florida, Iowa, New Mexico, Colorado, and Nevada haven't voted Republican in eight years. Are they solid Democratic states too?

Pennsylvania and Michigan haven't voted Republican since 1988. Wisconsin hasn't since 1984. Minnesota hasn't voted Republican since 1972. Are they all solidly Democratic?

New Hampshire last voted Republican in 2000, and very narrowly voted Democratic in 2004, when the Democratic nominee was a New Englander. Sure, it hasn't voted Republican in the last three presidential elections, but two of those were Democratic victories.

Nobody is saying that New Hampshire is a Republican state (like it was in the 1980s), but it sure as heck isn't a Democratic one.

New Mexico and Minnesota are solidly Democrat lol. The only way a Republican would get Minnesota in a presidential election would be in a massive landslide, and New Mexico is obviously completely out of the question for a Republican to win in the general. Michigan would need a landslide for it to flip do to Detroit.

Pennsylvania is swing same with Ohio. Nevada is Democrat, but not strong.

I was once a huge critic of my friend TN Volunteer's insistence that NH was a blue state and trending even bluer. However, angry women aside, I am now solidly convinced that this is the case.  NH can be won by a Republican, but it is growing increasingly difficult and will soon be impossible.  The Vermontification is well under way.

I agree with this. Grafton County is all you need to know.
