Kerry didn't bother to work the state - we got 1, ONE! piece of mail from him - and still only lost by ~5,500 votes. If he'd bother to campaign he could have won it.
I think Obama will win NM comfortably. I'm less sure of Colorado (which would seal the election), although I'm inclined to think he gets it.
What his speech may have done is put the Kerry states in the Rust Belt out of reach for McCain. Note the RNC is now pouring resources into the Deep South. They've now admitted North Carolina is in play. Sounds like Obama may be beating them back to the SC/NC border for now. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
The bucks they put into the Deep South - which should be safe for them - the less they have for Florida and Ohio.
Thinking about it ...
Wouldn't that be a hoot if NORTH CAROLINA is the state that puts Obama over the top?
(This election is so strange.)
