The Electoral College Math means President Bush already starts out with 186 electoral votes... he could lose California, Ohio, New York, Pennslyvania, Illinois and Michigan and still win the election if he held onto Minnesota. That is if everything else from the 2000 election remained the same. He'd still have three votes to spare two more than last time. In contrast, in writing off the South, the Democrats have to win all of the big states and states trending Republican like Kentucky, Minnesota, and West Virginia. The other party has its work cut out for them this year in building a path to the 270 votes needed to win the White House and with a Yankee liberal as their putative nominee good luck to them in carrying the South in November.
