A true 50 state strategy (5.00 / 7) (#32)

is all about reaching into red states like this, right?  No one in their right mind thinks that MT is gonna turn bright blue next November, but having dems show up and actively politic can't be a bad thing, right?

Wasn't that why this whole stupid primary was revamped, anyway, to give smaller states that normally are ignored some attention?
