Howard Dean has poured extra cash into
Mississippi North Carolina Missouri Nevada
now did he make the right decision? He has always stated that Mississippi is a democratic target due to the state having the honor of being last in salary, first in poverty, last in % of people with health insurance. He believes that we have to appeal to Confederate republicans in their pick-up trucks. Nevada is a definite target for 08 so i support him on that. Missouri i can uderstand also as it seems to have gone to the right while North Carolina is constantly growing in population but also has had some difficult religion news storeis to deal with.
But would they have been your four red states had you been Howard Dean?
Mine would have been
Arkansas - we have two senators, and a good chance of getting a democratic governor in 06. All we need to do is invest in Northwest Arkansas which is where the Republicans have made considerable ground.
Virginia - the best county result for the democratic county was not in any of the swing states it was in Fairfax County, VA. This is great progress for the party that spent very little cash in the state and with a liberal running agaisnt an incumbent. We need to focus on areas like Virginia Beach before we have any chance of turning the state blue.
Colorado - Howard Dean has penetrated rich white Americans in Conservative States. The typical Dean voter is one of those people that usually gives money to Bush/Republicans. The democrats cant rely on huge turnouts in Denver. We have to make some ground in Colorado Springs, El Paso County.
Arizona - Another state which is growing. Only has 100,000 people less in population than Missouri so will have more electoral votes. Immigration is an issue but the party needs to just win Phoenix (Manicopa County) then focus on winnning the state.
