Connecticut

Outlook: Solid Democratic

7 Electoral Votes (7 in 2000)
Kerry won in 2004 by 10.37%

Except for the antics of vacillating Joe Lieberman and a very popular moderate Republican governor, Connecticut is a reliably Blue state. The Democrats control the state Legislature and both U.S. Senate seats, as well as four of the five congressional districts. The Constitution State last went Red in 1988, and in recent years has been Blue by double digits as Al Gore won there by 17 percent and John Kerry by about 10 percent.
