Obama isn't gonna will MT, MO, and NC so the Dems are disadvantaged in thie governor and senate races.
Not exactly. Its a negative but not a severe disadvantage. Hunt and Easily won four elections, each saw Republicans win the state for President up ballot.
Montana is an open seat, so the Republicans have a slight advantage but they did loose the Governorship in 2004 when Bush was winning the state by 20 pts. I think these races will turn more on local issues and political divides then the Presidential result.
Hunt and Easily were popular though. Perdue has never really been that popular, she won by Obama's cotails
