The article ignores the fact that Florida is super-competitive, and Virginia might become so soon due to huge DC metro growth. The rest of the South is pretty hopeless for the Dems in presidential elections barring a landslide in which it wouldn't matter anyway. Dems have lots of great local candidates in the South, but their national ticket will not do well in the rest of the South. The Republicans don't seem to worry too much about the West Coast, Mid-Atlantic or New England which have many electoral votes. Both parties would be wise to focus on the battleground states and not worry too much about those states that either Bush or Kerry won by more than five points.
