Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin are the states I think have a chance of flipping depending on the circumstances.

I would take out NJ and put in PA

If McCain's the GOP's nominee, add Oregon and Minnesota.

Even HILLARY beats McCain in MN by a fairly wide margin.

Really? If the Democrats nominate Al Franken...

Franken polls respectably well against Coleman. If he loses, he's certainly not going to drag down the Presidential candidate.
If Coleman blows out Franken (which is possible, though not likely), the higher suburban vote could hurt the Democratic nominee. It won't matter anyway because if the Democratic nominee loses Minnesota, he'll lose the general election.
