New Jersey may be the sleeper state, Galtoid. People forget that Reagan carried it twice by huge margins and that Bush 41 handily beat Dukakis there in 1988. The fact that Edwards was there twice this past week means it is not a safe Demo state and may be more attractive to Bush than Pennsylvania. People also forget that with redistricting, Bush's 271 electoral votes in 2000 are now 278 electoral votes from the same states, meaning he can lose New Hampshire AND Nevada and still win the election IF he wins just one of the two congressional districts in Maine (he can lose the state but he still gets ONE electoral vote if he carries a district). That would give him 270, one more than needed.

I am hoping that this election will not be that close. Please spare us the agony of recounting and litigation.

I would point out that if Bush wins every state he won in 2000, but loses New Hampshire and New Mexico, a 269 tie would result. This thing is not over yet. Your $, votes and campaign help on the ground are needed to put President Bush over the top. Remember, the Dumocrats will stop at nothing to buy votes all over the country, including with hard cash.
