The classic "blue state" (in this case blue county) campaign run by Charlie was a disappointment. Charlie could just as easily won by reducing his margin of defeat in the red counties by 5%, and still lost all of them. Getting from 75-25 losses to 70-30 or 60-40 losses would have easily done the job better than driving each voter in Miami-Dade to the polls. Instead of 50 state, it needs to be something far closer to 63 counties next time.
