Ladies and Gents of DU, one of the big stories of the day? Huff Po just turned their last swing state, NH, to Obama. That's it. There are no more swing states on their map.
EVERY SINGLE SWING STATE IS NOW BLUE.
So what is the new swing state? Pink. The pink states are now the swing states. :0)
Arizona, Missouri, Indiana, Tennessee...hell, Texas was even pink for a week after the DNC. Those are now the low hanging fruit and I say we should be aggressively targeting. The Presidential, Senate and Congressional races. We pick up one or two of those states and we just might have the coattails to take back Congress. Speaker Pelosi, anyone?

(4,359 posts)romney is ahead on tpm by less than 4 BUT he only has 42% of the vote. There is huge room for movement there..though the huff po has a bigger romney lead and probably newer polling--it gives romney 49%. BUT, that is LIKELY voters...and Obama will be bringing out new voters and minorities who are often not likely voters.
