=== Deep South ===

John McCain was expected to do well in the deep south.  This includes the states of [[Texas]], [[Alabama]], [[Mississippi]], [[Louisiana]], [[Oklahoma]], [[Arkansas]], [[Tennessee]], [[Kentucky]] and [[West Virginia]].  This area is generally [[conservative]], and consistently votes Republican in Presidential elections.  Although Obama believed in a fifty-state strategy, it is unlikely that such a strategy will be helpful in getting the electoral votes in these states apart from the black population.  McCain won every state in this region the closest being Texas were he won 12 electoral points ahead of Obama.
