It would be nothing less than a blessing if the GOP were to somehow pick this state up and win, but their prospects are not very good. They always seem to keep this state close but they simply can't get over the edge. I think in 2008 you will see a similar trend as Pennsylvania will be pretty close but the demcrat will likely win in the end.
