I don't see us hanging onto CA. We won't run a moderate. OK, KS? Sure, but those are red states. I was kind of thinking towards the bluish/purple states.
Those are the key ones...It would be nice to get CO back after a horrid few yrs there, but Ritter seems moderate and popular. But, maybe AZ/OR/IL/IA/MI/WI, etc.
We already have AZ. Republicans have pretty good shot at PA if Wagner(D) doesn't run. Also it wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on OH. Granted Strickland is pretty strong but you never can tell and if you are going after IA and WI you might as well gor for OH as well.
Trust me on this, barring some enormous scandal, Strickland isn't in any danger, especially not against Kasich.
