Nine Kevin its -- states bush won these guys in 2004.

Obama took them 2008 and the battles -- -- -- act in 2012.

Let's take a look at state of Florida who just aren't nearly three states here and gets the other states is in that we can -- -- -- actually.

In Florida you could see most of those counties are are in the center of the state.

And that's where extradition of the -- been held in Florida it's known as the key corridor the champ recorder.

And that's where Obama upset.

Expectations what it's a state of floor not big in this -- the Democrats to win this out they.

The -- Republican who in the north big it's a central part of the state but in orbit around well yeah that's right all right let's take a look at Virginia.

-- -- He was -- -- -- are not out yet but can I ask you about it and -- -- -- And make a point about a lot of these -- -- -- you're gonna see it on -- on a map our suburban counties right and I think that match for two three reasons one is your house is probably worth less than you when you bought it.

Moms and those suburban counties are just looking for one thing.

A little bit more comfort and that would like a little bit more time and not have to worry so much.

The suburban.

Moms have to consult back -- that are still -- the key most important things and why these counties matter.
