Not only for 2008 (b/c 2004 is etched in stone and all states shift uniformly), but forever and ever, amen.
(too bad that'll be less than 270 for the Dems. by 2012...but it doesn't matter, we'll have the Southwest--at least that's what we tell ourselves, even though the region has had Dem. governors many times while electing Republicans for everything else, just like the Deep South--as long as we abandon our principles of economic and social justice for the almighty centrism or Third Way)
Interesting theory... do you think Iowa and Ohio will stay in the Repub's column?
What about Florida, any chance that could switch?
