Related: About this forumObama is going for at least one state that pundits say can't go Republican again.
Got an email inviting new and experienced volunteers to attend a meeting by the Obama campaign. Maybe Obama campaign intend to crush Romney.

(8,419 posts)That state was solid red and somehow went for Obama. The northern part took the hit from the RV shutdown and Obama played that, but how the hell did that over shadow the Kentucky part of Indiana. The only good thing is they have the same number of EVs as Missouri so my prediction of EVs stayed the same. (just was wrong on two states)
Anyway, I see Indiana as less of a possibility than Texas.

we lived in Ft. Wayne from about 93 to 2007. Not a great place but not a bad one really either.

(308 posts)Do you mean can't go Democratic?
Arizona is supposedly the new target for 2012.
I suppose Missouri is a possibility as well.

(6,152 posts)Baltimoreans drive to PA every two weeks. Those from Montgomery County and PG County go to VA every two weeks. The National Call Teams are getting active. I have to believe that we have a chance.

(14,581 posts)the margin in the polling for BO vs Romney is bigger than what they can cage out.
For all that the "liberal" media has wanted to make PA a swing state, it has gone D in the presidential for two decades now.
The real end game for the voter ID law is to TOTALLY lock down the state for Rs in every other race.
The D to R edge is too big to game a statewide presidential, but they have somehow found a way to have a mortal lock by a large margin the state senate and have had control of the state house for all but two years in the last decade plus.

(14,581 posts)they wanted to split up the electoral votes, but once they put their finger to the wind on it and saw their fingers get ripped off, they put that Kibosh on that.
The abortion surpression bill they were really behind, once it blew up on them, they threw the twit who propsed it under the bus and ran for the hills.
Then, in all their glory, the passed the worst of the "voter ID" bills in the country.
But, Pa, being Pa, everyone pretty much is sleepwalking through it ...
