Better Dead Than Red!

You've stuck to your guns despite your personal desire to see Pres. Bush be given the benefit of the doubt.

Great work. Great integrity. I don't want my bad news sugar-coated and you didn't.

Now I have great confidence in the good news of a swing back in the direction of Pres. Bush.

Thanks for honesty....above all.

Getting better ping.

I'd say so... I've been following your incredible work religiously and this week is remarkably better than the recent scary breakdowns.

Thank you!

"Better Dead Than Red!"

I agree! Home come they get Blue?!

I think we should put it on the ballot.

They're the commie lovers! They should want red! [or maybe pink!]

Stay Strong,

After the July Democratic convention, he trailed Jimmy Carter by the overwhelming amount of 62%-29%. One can only imagine how ugly the electoral map must have looked to campaign operatives for Mr. Ford back then.

Based on the actual election results, the electoral map when Carter was leading 62%-29% must've had President Ford losing every state but Alaska and Utah, with Idaho, Nebraska, and Wyoming as tossups.

In EV terms, that translated to: Carter - 519 EVs, Ford - 7 EVs, Tossup - 12 EVs.

Interesting analysis, Boss. Thanks much.

Concerning your "getting better" comment, I've always thought Dubya to be in pretty good shape. Still vulnerable, of course, but I'm liking his chances.

I'm interested in seeing a new poll for WV since the Swifties started running their ads.

In 1976 an elector from Washington cast his vote for Ronald Reagan because he was not satisfied with the proabortion views of Gerald Ford.

Wasn't there a poll recently that showed Bush with a lead in New Mexico? I thought he would also be closer in Oregon.

Awesome work with this. I'm hooked on your posts. Can you add me to your ping list please? Also do you (or anyone else for that matter) know of a site/post of similar quality documenting the U.S. Senate races across the country? I've seen some across the Web, but they seem to have a leftward tilt, and I would prefer a more objective analysis. Thanks.
