US PRES: Will Obama win all the states Kerry won in 2004?

Settled as Yes

Obama will need to do better than Kerry to be President, of course. But... will he win all of Kerry's states? That includes New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, all three battleground states and strongly contested territory.

New Hampshire particularly has looked dicey in the polls, and it's the state that gave McCain his start. Pennsylvania too has hovered on the brink. On the other hand, many pundits say this is Obama's election to lose, and if he wins, he may take all Kerry's states and many more besides.


Settlement details: As determined by the results from the electoral college, given in a major newspaper. The Kerry states were California, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Hawaii. (The District of Columbia and the U.S. territories are not states and therefore do not count for this question.)

Just to be clear, Obama could win the election and still not win all the Kerry states. An Obama election victory does not mean "Yes" on this question. Obama has to win all the states listed above.
