Guess what - a northerner CAN win elections without a single south state

CV is that dems need at least one south state to win national elections. I think that is not true. Kerry proved it can be done. He fell 100K votes short but it CAN be done.

Even with 3,5 million more popular votes and a sweep in the south republicans are no longer sure of winning national elections. In fact I think this bodes well for the future. A southern state can be a bonus but it is not necessary.

1. It can be done, but I think we've proven it's RISKY.

2. Not much margin for error when you're betting it all on a Diebold state.

3. Screw certain southern states...the following should be the focus

OH, VA, WV, AR, FL, MO, IN as fair as the red states go. Get all of those and we rule the electoral college. We need to make sure we do not have to fight on our own turf anymore. Especially those upper mid-west states. IL needs to help bring in those states, be our NY and MA of the upper midwest.
