Good Points... (3.00 / 0)

I'd say the larger point is that Utah will always be red until Democrats start giving them a real alternative.

Look at the bright blue states, like MA, RI, NY, NJ, ME.  Republicans have never given up on them, and have won elections.  Granted Olympia Snowe isn't a member of the Delay wing of their party.

Look at some inroads made by Democrats in places like Montana

It's got to be a 50 state, zillion county/city/precinct fight.

ME hasn't been bright blue, it's mostly been considered a swing state - though I think it's trending blue.

On the other hand, there's no bluer state than MA, and we've got a Mormon Republican from Utah as our governor.  Proper karmic balance would have Utah electing a Kennedy for some statewide office :)

Maine: Recovering Ex-Republican State (none / 0)

once Snowe and Collins retire, Maine will finish its transition from Republican to swing state to Democratic. here's hoping Sen. Tom Allen isn't too far into the future.

Collins is retiring in '08. Easy pick-up opportunity there!
