Hillary strategy map 2.0

Oregon: This state needs more polling urgently, it may be a swing state this year as a result of Hillary's unpopularity but the data is too limited to tell.

Not going to happen. She is not going to spend in WA or OR because they aren't going to be competitive.

Arizona: There is definitely potential to turn this state blue, Hillary should invest heavily in making that happen.

Possibly. But it's hard to imagine her winning it unless she's already comfortably ahead nationwide. It probably does not make sense to invest heavily there given that resources could be spent on closer states at the moment.

Montana, south Dakota, north Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas: A poll done in Kansas shows Hillary leading. This could be a sign that Trump's unpopularity could put the region in play, just as we hoped Utah would be in play.

Probably none will be very competitive. Montana was close in 2008 but Obama obviously won in a blowout nationwide. Again, most of these states are so small and so unlikely to be competitive that it is a waste of resources.

Michigan: the race looks closer here, a little bit of investment is going to be required to keep this blue.

Closer than where? If you were referring to WI then that's just not true as Clinton's lead in Michigan is larger. In fact it is larger than any of the other "swing-states."

Ohio and Pennsylvania: Trump is extremely strong with working class whites, as a result of this, Ohio is trending red and Pennsylvania is trending as a toss-up. Also both regions are very similar to the regions that voted to leave the EU in brexit. It is best to let Trump win Ohio and pool all the resources that would have gone there into Pennsylvania instead.

She is not going to cede OH given it's sizable amount of electoral votes and that she currently holds a decent lead there.

Vermont: This is bernieland, polling needs to be done here, and Jill stein needs to be an option in those polls. The divisions in the democratic party could allow trump to win, similar to how Hillary could win in Utah.

Not going to happen. Plus it's a small state. It would also be silly to include Stein since the Green Party does not have ballot access in VT according to this: http://www.gp.org/ballotaccess

Connecticut: Weird polling is showing this to be a closer race than normal in this state for some reason, perhaps a little bit of money should go into this state.

CT usually polls somewhat close but it's generally accepted that the state is inelastic enough that the Democrats will win.

Maine: polls show the 2nd district is a toss-up, some resources should go into this state to ensure this doesn't happen.

Hard to justify spending here because it is only 1 EV.
