A Republican could probably win if he/she was a popular moderate governor/senator from one of those states. One from Washington could probably take Oregon as well and vice versa. California is another story. The only way that I could see a Republican, besides a popular moderate home stater, winning would be if there was a 'populist' Republican running who could win the Hispanic vote, or a 'libertarian' Republican running who could eat into the white liberal vote around San Francisco and Los Angeles. Neither of which, I believe, are very likely to happen.

I don't think that the question was what would it take for a Democrat to win Mississippi.
