For some reason I often erroneously think of NC as being redder (or at least less purple) than it really is and had forgotten what NCP just pointed out about Obama's 2008 win there. If not mistaken there has also been a recent influx of high-tech industrial parks there and those workers tend to be more liberal. Same thing is happening here in Arizona with migration changing the demographics, but Pubs still outnumber Dems by 2 or 3%...

Arizona Voter Registration & Historical Election Data

I'm with you on WI...not worried about PA or MI because I seriously doubt Biden will just blow them off like we did in 2016. But WI will likely be the closest of the 3. Even if we can't flip it back I have high hopes for AZ which would more than compensate and if we can also add NC then Joe is well on his way without even needing any other help like OH or FL although it would obviously be great to pick those up as well.

2020 may still be close but if it's a blowout then it can only be a Democratic one which is an advantage for us. Would much rather be a D than an R heading into this one for sure.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
