Dark horses to watch out for, R to D:
Alaska - could be barely winnable for the right kind of Democrat in a huge landslide, but it isn't as R as it once was. I get a crunchy enviro granola hippie vibe from some of the Dems up there, and the Dem Party in Alaska isn't that bad considering...
Kansas - watch the eastern part of the state in the next 20 years, KS has been Republican for a very, very long time... but they've had this weird thing with the moderate Goppers and the conservative Goppers (who are far right) which has allowed two D women (Sebelius and Kelly) to become Governor. There might be a backlash in KS to the Brownback style of Conservatism, but we'll see it more in a huge Dem landslide than any other year.
South Carolina - It is not exactly Lindseyland. A sizable amount of South Carolinians continuously vote against their senior Senator. For such a solid R state, it has a very high ceiling for the state's Democratic Party. In 2018, the Democratic candidate almost received 46% of the vote, that's 4% away from 50% and then you need just one more vote. I would not be surprised if SC is going to get pretty darn close.
