The electoral college this year could be a big concern.
Keep in mind that although the 'electors' are SUPPOSED to vote according to each states election outcomes, they are not REQUIRED to do so.
If enough of the electorates prefer Kerry, this election could be lost in Washington.
No, in the respective state capitols. Actually, if i were an elector, I don't think I would want to have to spend the rest of my looking over my shoulder if I voted for someone other than who I was pleged to vote.
That's why only well-known, experienced party loyalists are allowed to serve as electors. But GWB needs to win by a comfortable margin so it doesn't come down to a victory by 1 or 2 electoral votes. In that case, the despicable Dems could attempt to blackmail a few GOP electors. ("If it's not close, they can't cheat.")
