Of the 22 states John McCain carried in Election 2008, Montana was one of three (Missouri and Georgia are the other two) states in which Barack Obama won the female vote. The GOP lost 90 percent of the 2004-2008 margin. Bush carried the Big Sky State by 20.5 percentage points. McCain held it by 2.38. A little more campaigning in the state would've flipped Mont., especially since it has had a voting record mirroring Colorado (which did turn blue) in all post-World War II elections (1948...).
In short: A 2012 re-election of President Obama is going to see him increase in margin and electoral votes. (The only two-term president who ever decreased on both counts: Woodrow Wilson.) Montana (won by McCain by 2.38 points), Missouri (held by McCain by .13), and Georgia (McCain by 5.2) pose the best chances of flipping from red to blue.
So I guess every state that doesn't vote the way you want is "a fucking dumbass state." I'm glad youre a rationale human being. You people never cease to amaze me.

Montana is a fucking dumbass Red state, full of gay cowboys (where the film Brokeback originated). No wonder they voted for InSane. I mean McCain.

@TxTechRox123 You forget that McCain only won it by 2.38 points so there are plenty of 'cowboys' who were willing to vote for Obama.
