The state of Montana has a full slate of offices up for election this year: President, governor, Senator and House member.

Let me clarify that: Montana did vote for Clinton in 1992 by a slim margin with a third party making a | Read More »
North Dakota has a full slate of offices to vote on and some questions. As concerns the presidential election, North Dakota has not voted for a Democrat since Lyndon Johnson in 1964.

Since most of the population is east of the Cascades and that area tends towards the liberal side, he should easily carry the state.
