Arizona Senator John McCain and his cohorts are planning to make the November 2008 Electoral Map look far different from 2000 or 2004.  So says crack Politico reporter Jonathan Martin:

Such a list starts here, in famously flinty New Hampshire, one of only three states to switch allegiance in presidential voting between 2000 and 2004. But it could also include Maine, which has elected an independent governor and which gave Ross Perot his highest vote share in 1992. Connecticut would be tougher but has also elected two third-party candidates to statewide office (Lowell Weicker and Joseph I. Lieberman).

With many Connecticut Republicans considering the impending McCain candidacy, there seems to be a growing belief that the maverick from Arizona could certainly make Connecticut a swing state in the general election. We look forward to it being so.
