There's an awful lot of blue on that map. And they still don't think we're going to take it?

A pickup in Arizona and Tennessee is within reach. Picking up a seat in Maine should be possibe with a good candidate. I suppose it's hard to recruit good candidates against stong Repub incumbent. If the Governor's Mansion in Augusta goes Democratic this year things could eventually turn aroud in Maine as well. :construction:

We can spread the word all over the net EM and plus hopefully people we'll vote early and turn this country back to blue. :)

Looks like Colorado governership is within reach as well, which would make 5 of 8 mtn state with dem gov.

I forgot to throw in Idaho, that is one of the reddest of the red states. Oh, well, if we can turn some of the red states blue, that will definitely be a big improvement. :)

I hate to throw cold water on your optimism, but I do not see a Democratic pickup in the Arizona Senate race. Wishful thinking.
But, the state is trending blue. Just a missed opportunity for this cycle I'm afraid. Unattractive candidate with shallow name recognition and voter familiarity who was not aggressive enough against a rubber-stamp of the Administration. Jon Kyl, the incumbent, should have been made to pay for every vote in support of the President's policies that threaten to wreck our Constitution, economy, health care system, national security, fiscal health, and environment. Alas, Jim Pederson's campaign could not even be described as tepid. Maybe whispy?
