Bush to loose Electoral College vote?

Posted on 10/21/2004 12:56:33 PM PDT by 1stFreedom

Seems like Bush is ahead in national polls, but in the battleground States it looks like its very close -- with Kerry ahead for the most part.

Could it be a reversal of 2000? Sure, Rush is telling us that Kerry never lead, but is he referring to national polls?

I have this sneaky feeling that this election will be a repeat of the 2000 election -- with Kerry coming out on top of the EC vote.

For poll stats in the battleground States, see:

Bush HAS to win all these states...

Please opine...

I know to some this scenario seems impossible, but many of those thought the Yanks were gonna spank Boston's rear. Reality is not always pleasing.

Bush is sitting super-pretty in the electoral college. Don't let the Dems scare you.

I am very concerned about this possibility. It would be tragic.

In 2000 we worried about Bush winning the pop vote and Gore winning the electoral college... No need to waste time worrying about a fluke.

If Bush wins by 1% or more nationally he'll carry Florida, Iowa, Wisconsin, which will make Ohio irrelevant...

If Bush wins Florida and Ohio he wins. Simple as that.

Since your headline makes no sense, I'll have to ignore the rest of the thread.

There is so much disinformation going on right now, it's hard to believe anything being reported. I don't think it will be that close. Go W!

baseball and politics aren't the same thing.

This is a scenerio put forward by the dems - mainly zogby this time - to give hope to the democrats.

If you recall, they did the EXACT same thing in 2000 when gore was behind. Which is why they looked so silly saying 'gore won the popular vote' after the election, like that meant he should be president.

See the battle ground poll summaries...

RCP Battleground polls

Bush is a sitting duck right now, and is far from "sitting super pretty" in the EC.

It would take an even greater miracle for Kerry to win enough BG states to win. He will not even hold the Gore states and will not pick up any Bush states.

This could end up with Bush having as many as 350 EVs.

Well, then I have an excuse to riot.

I've learned so very, very much from the DNC over the past four and one-half years.

My opinion is that loose means not tight.
My opinion is that to lose means not to win.

And those are the only opinions I have on your post.

The Yankees got too careful.

They took strikes and swung at bad pitches for three nights.

They deserve what they got.

We don't deserve Kerry.

Don't worry.

Bush will win 338 electoral votes, exactly!
