Scroll down to the raw state vote totals and it's easy to see why Obama would target Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, New Mexico and Ohio as the most vulnerable Republican states. The 2006 results in Virginia should put it in play, too. That is 59 electoral votes right there without Florida, giving Obama 310 and McCain 227 if Obama held all of Kerry's states too.

That's a big part of why trying to overcome large 6-figure deficits in states like Florida may not be worth it. The article Sam posted was filled with a lot of petty prejudices from some individuals that would be difficult or impossible for Obama to overcome.

You can't please all the people all the time.
