13 years on what are your thoughts on the U.S. presidential election of 2000?

I'm sure the dems thought Il was not competitive from 1968 - 1988 when the Repugs carried the state. Granted it's been blue for the more recent 20 years, but it does show that things can change. There are no Absolutes. Just high probability But the right candidate could come along and change that.

Neither one of those States are competitive

Just because they aren't competitive currently, doesn't mean they are meaningless.
For the Dems to win, they have to have those votes... only a moron would call them meaningless.

If your State is in play Ming, the Dem might as well drop out of the race as it means a repeat of the 1984 election is coming.

I guess the Repugs should give up since Texas was voting Democratic prior to 1980, so it must be in play too...
They only voted Repug 5/31 times prior to 1980, very clearly a Dem state.

Texas is going blue... maybe even in 2016.

Neither one of those States are competitive, Ming. So your question is stupid and you should feel bad for asking it.

Very true, although 2016 is a little optimistic.
