State to State Races: Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota

We continue on today, as we closer and closer to the end, with a look at states from midwest, New England, South, and Great Plains.

Well start with Nebraska. Like Maine, it is split into districts that represent electoral votes. And as Maine's districts will all go to the democrats, all of Nebraskas will go to the GOP. The GOP's senate seat should be safe, and there are no competitive house races.

Next there is Nevada. Intially, I projected that the Democrats would pick this seat up. That is the current projection you will find on that page, but poll after poll indicates that John McCain is doing very well in this state and is the favorite to win this state. Other than it's battleground status, there is no senate, governor, or competitive house races.

And then the battleground of New Hampshire. It is nearly the oppisite of Nevada. I intially thought this would be a great chance for a win for the GOP, but polls now indicate that Barack Obama has had the slight advantage. A huge race is brewing in the Senate, as Republican John Sununu is in serious danger of losing his seat to the democratic challenger. There is also a competitive house race.

We move on to New Jersey. For a time in 2004, New Jersey seemed to be polling close. I doubt that will ever be the case in 2008. The democrat should easily win the race. In the house, two open seats that the GOP may lose, are on the table this year. The GOP will be glad if they can keep at least one of those seats.

On to New Mexico. Yet another battleground state that may go down to the wire, I expect this state to change colors time and time again as the election draws near. New Mexico is another state the GOP may lose a senate seat.

The mega state of New York follows. You can't say much about New York, other than it is very safe for the Democrat. They have four house races to look into though.

And then there is North Carolina. North Carolina may not be as safe for Republicans as it should be, but don't expect anything dramatic this coming election.

Finally we reach North Dakota. The GOP will domintate the presidential race here, along with the Governor race, despite how much they have lost in the senate and hosue.
