With the 2008 Presidential Election nearing quickly, swing states are turning out to be a key interest to both parties, as they will decide the winner. A swing state is a state in which neither party has overwhelming support. As of now, McCain will have to win every swing state in order to beat out Obama (fingers crossed!)
Two of the toss up states, as of now, are North Dakota and Nevada. According to the RCP Average, McCain is leading in North Dakota by 4 points and Obama takes Nevada with only 3.3 points. Because North Dakota consists of rural areas, I believe that this will influence conservative views and they will vote Republican. On the other hand, Nevada (home to wild and crazy Las Vegas which counts for 90% of the state’s population) is more likely to trend Democratic because of their mainly urban citizens.
