Maryland, Delaware, and California are the only states I would think a solid Republican can take away from a good Democrat.  Of course, this would have to be a more moderate Republican rather than a conservative.

A good Democrat should be good enough in painting his opponent as an extremist to prevent a taking of California. Grin

Possibly, but I look at it this way.  It will only take a 5% change from last election to turn the state over to Republican, which is up from 6% in 2000 and 7% in 1996 (though Perot really skewed that with his 7%).  Put in a moderate Republican, and that gap has a potential of narrowing or disappearing all together.
