are locked in Blue for the foreseeable future. We do have to win more state legislator and governor races though.

NC, SC, Indiana, Arizona, and Georgia will be tough nuts to crack but I hope the party and related organizations will make a play for them. The fact that we won Indiana and NC in '08 were huge upsets. I'd love to see the party turn them consistently blue by '24.

Did I just have an image of Mississippi coming along with them? Doesn't seem possible. I do have to say how disappointed I am with my original home state of Missouri. God help them.
