The Republicans have been shut out of the Northeast. They are one state away from being shut out of the Pacific, the only state in the Southwest they are ahead of right now is Arizona thanks to it being John McCain's home state. Conversely, the Democrats should win at least one state in the Mountain & Plains region, possibly as many as 4. Also, they are in a coin toss in Virginia, and could win three Southern states if they manage a strong wave in November. The Democrats are now a national party while the Republicans are being reduced to a regional party. And credit should go to Howard Dean. ... Well, Dean and George W. Bush. “That wacky idea Howard Dean had of competing in all the states as if the Democrats were a national party just might work.”
