I believe that AZ and GA will be surprisingly close. I also think Ohio could be surprisingly big for Obama.

I do think AZ will trend blue over coming elections, and be close this one. MO close too?

No reason a turnout machine focused on the delta and the northeast couldn't work some surprises.

Goes blue again by virtue of the huge ground effort.

FL for Obama would surprise me, so would NC, if we get either of those called early its over right there. I have a lot of faith in Nates numbers.
GA? I would be very surprised to see that as close as last time.

(2,785 posts)7. North Carolina,South Carolina, and Georgia
I think Obama got a real shot at keeping North Carolina blue. While I also think Georgia, and South Carolina will be closer then most expect. I actually think Georgia, and South Carolina will become swing states before Texas.

that works for me.
If Obama wins more than 303, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
