What do Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona have in common? They are all states with Republican governors. They are also states which will most likely have Democratic governors, with the exception of Utah and Idaho, by the end of this year.
Before you Democrats start gloating, the reason for the switch has nothing to do with Liberal ideology. This is part of a backlash against the Bush administration, and nothing more. Except for possibly Colorado, this area is pretty much independent, with a strong Conservative streak (and by Conservative, I mean REALLY Conservative, not donkeys in elephant suits).
Whether this area goes Democratic or stays Republican in 2008 depends a lot on what Republicans do between now and then. The ball is in your court, GOP. Make the right move, and you keep all these states. Continue as you have, and you will lose quite a few of them.
