to WI'ites would have lost those 10 electoral votes.
MN Kerry only won by 3.5 points (and it's a state which has been electing Republicans recently). That's another 10 electoral votes.
MI was a 3.4% Dem victory for 17 electoral votes (even though they have a great Democratic governor and one of the best senate delegations in the country).
Those three states are definitely NOT safe Demcratic states.
I would not put those 37 electoral votes at risk for a grab at NM's 5 electoral votes.
But, hopefully, Dems will run a candidate in 2008 who campaigns everywhere and has a message about progressive values that works for people in WI, MN and MI as well as NM (but definitely for WI, MI and MN!).
