26. Pretty cool, but one thing
The concept of "Swing State" is a corralary of the idea that there is a tiny slice of voters (aka "Swing voters")that decides the election for you , where you win 51%, the opponent gets 49%

That's the Karl Rove- Cintonian era model. Worked when there were close lections, in the 90s and extended into 2004.

2006 BROKE that model. Take a look. It is this NEW model , where all former "red " states ARE IN PLAY that our campaign is focused on. We're planning on a huge margin of victory, at leasy 6% and these voters just don't show up on polling methods currently in use.

Take a look at the model that asks voters to self identify R or D.
D's are up by double digits.

Take a look at the new registrations we have brought in; if we get just a 20% pull through, it will be a landslide.
