Where do you get that from?
In the argument for changing the electoral college, I'd say we change it so each county gets one electoral vote. This would take away the sway that big cities have. They are more dependent on gov't services, and thus more likely to vote themselves goodies with my money.
I got that from your previous post where you said Ohio was "scary" and the fact that you didn't answer my question on how you thought things weres going for Bush there. You just said you went to Ohio State. I did put a question mark after my question.... because I wasn't sure what you were saying.
Thanks for the edit.
1. I never said anything about the situation being "scary." (read my posts).
2. I answered your question in a later post.
the hidden help in Ohio is the marriage vote. People who are going to the polls to vote against the gay marriage agenda will be voting for the President.
It's all going to come down to turnout. Bush would have beaten Gore easily in 2000, but the Republican evangelical base was not motivated; Florida panhandle voters thought the state was lost after it was called early; and the Demos had a highly effective, two-pronged voter turnout and fraud effort.
Voters in safe Bush states like Texas need to turn out in force this year too so we don't have to endure another four years of whining about the popular vote.
When are they going to figure out that FLORI-DUH is off the map? It broke Bush after the convention and hasn't swung back EVER!!
Huh?
I could have sworn it said "Erectoral Surprise" when I first saw it, and passed it by. Bad, bad visuals.
Yeeech!
My bad. Either 60s acid or dyslexia, in a redux.
I hope Ras is on the righ0t track but I remember we all fell for his polls in 200 which showed W way in the lead. We also made fun of Zog who luckily called it a tie.
BW is too Liberal for my tastes... this article is a Liberal trying to give Kerry the 'boost' he needs to seem viable. Kind of like electroshock for a corpse.
Very biased spin.
The senator must win just one of those three states to reach the 270 electoral votes necessary to capture the White House
WRONG. According to these totals, Kerry could not win by carrying just Iowa and Kerry could not win by just winning Ohio. Kerry could win by merely winning Florida. Bottom line is that this analysis is lame.
New Mexico? Don't think so. Kerry is so toasted. I love delusion.

Good comment!
BW is for the guys who work in the mailroom.
Fortune is for the middle managers.
Forbes is for the CEO and guy who owns the company.
Choose your biz mags accordingly!!! :-)
I thought Bush was up 11 in Ohio just a week ago. I forget which poll, but one of the majors.
I stand corrected. I had your post confused with one from "dead".
Ain't gonna happen. I live in Ohio. Trust me. Aside from Cleveland, Youngstown and Toledo, this state is Bush Country. He wins by at least five percent.
has as long as i can remember...
I sure hope you're right.
It's the news cycle. If you've got a big bomb to drop on the otherside you wait until it won't compete for headlines, broadcast news shows are only 22 minutes long must respect the clutter.
