$10 says the dark brown states go to Kerry and everything else goes to Bush.

It's just so odd that the media keeps harping on unemployment when the unemployment rate right now (5.4%) is lower than it was during the Clinton "economic boom" of 1996 (5.6%).

SC will go Bush.

Never bet money with a stupid statement. I'll take you up on that, being quite confident that Mississippi and S. Carolina will vote for Bush. Get your wallet ready...

If Illinois' Governor is anti-business and drove companies into the dirt, this is the President's fault? Oh, I forgot, it's raining today and THAT TOO to Bush's fault....

Here's a bigger one for us high res folks:

[Redmen4ever]

"Other things equal," the dark states would indeed go to Kerry. But, people vote on the basis of many factors in addition to local economic factors. Consider Mississippi and South Carolina, which are very Republican in Presidential races. This year, they might not be as Republican as they have been in the past due to local economic conditions. Nevertheless, it is a safe bet that they will wind up in the GOP column.

[TC Rider]

No way will Miss and SC go to Kerry.

[sweetliberty]

I'll take that bet. Bush has Mississippi and SC in the bag. I think he's ahead in Oregon too, and probably Alaska. There is a big battle being waged in Ohio, but I think if the fraud is kept in check, he'll take that one too.

Not everyones votes are connected to their wallets...
Democrats, neo-cons(ex-democrats), government employees of all types, and of course some senior so-called citizens... excepted.. The public treasury has parasites hanging on it like Vampire BATS..

Easy money. In fact, I'll bet you $100,000 Mississippi and South Carolina (both brown) go to Bush and Vermont (yellow) goes Kerry.

I'll see you ten dollars and go $25 that Alaska carries Bush - probably by the biggest margin in the 50 states! Alaskans understand the concept of "making hay while the sun shines" so expect the best from them.

It's very interesting how states like lightly populated northern prairie states like North and South Dakota aren't doing too bad while Alaska is purple (you'd think they'd have a constant labor shortage), Oregon of all places is purple (what did they do wrong?), and D.C. (where you would have to be pretty hopeless not to get any decent job offers) is purple. As for the great lake states, I wonder if part of the problem is Canada's economy as well as the perpetually fading steel/auto industries.
