George Will Discovers the West
Arizona, Colorado, DNC, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Presidential Politics, The Big Strategy, Utah, Wyoming

In today's "election scorecard" column from conservative commentator George Will:

Four years ago all eight Mountain West states -- Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming -- had Republican governors. If Democrat Bill Ritter wins Colorado's governorship, Democrats will hold five of eight governorships in the Mountain West, which in the 1990s was even more reliably Republican than the South. In 2004 a change of a total of 63,508 votes in Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico would have given those states' 19 electoral votes and the presidency to John Kerry. No wonder the Democrats' 2008 convention will probably be in Denver.

Bring it on home, folks. Bring it on home.

Let's pick up the governorships in Alaska, Idaho, and Nevada and hold in Oregon. These are all very close races. Bring it on home.
