If Bayh could carry Indiana's 11 electoral votes and Ohio's 20 votes, it would be hard to see how the Dems could lose. The main reason Kerry lost the election is that he was destroyed in Western Ohio, which is adjacent to Indiana. Check out the vote totals for the counties out there. The voting behavior is similar to that of Wyoming and Utah! Anybody know why, by the way?
One idea is a ticket with Feingold and Bayh, and have them concentrate on the Great Lakes. They've basically won if they win the swing states of MN, WI, IA, MI, OH, and PA.
Substitute NH for IA if that makes it more likely. Maybe a trip or two to OR. Everything else looks pretty safe.
