Minnesota. The state hasn't voted Republican since 1972, but has been within single digits in almost every election since then except for those of 1976, 1992, 1996, and 2008, and has seen its rural and working class areas trend heavily Republican in recent years, a trend which gave the Republicans false hope there last year.

The Democrats have made inroads in the traditionally Republican Twin Cities suburbs, and these inroads have counterbalanced the Republican gains elsewhere. This is similar to Texas, which has seen the Democrats gain in urban and suburban areas but Republicans gain in the Rio Grande Valley. The difference however, is that Minnesota remains stubbornly Democratic, while Texas is on its way to becoming a swing state.
