I know theoretically it is possible: and I do think Bush is going to win WI, NM, and IA, but I don't see Bush winning without either FL or OH, nor do I think that will be necessary. I haven't seen anything to suggest that we aren't looking at a 320 EV Bush victory.
Balderdash to all you gloom and doomers.
Florida is not going to go to Kerry. Remember how Terry McAuliffe vowed to send a message to W. by promising Jeb would voted out as governor in 2002? He sent a message alright, but it wasn't the kind that should inspire confidence in Democrats.
Look at the rally in Jacksonville over the weekend - Bush spoke before an estimated 50,000 at Alltel Stadium. John Edwards was in town the night before, and spoke to a whopping 2,500 in Metropolitan Park.
One more thing: God forgive me for saying anything nice about Al Gore, but he was a much stronger candidate than John Kerry ever was. Voters knew where Gore stood. Kerry has left them unclear on many issues. That in itself is bad, but during a war, it's fatal.
All this said, get yourself and every W. supporter you know to the polls and vote.
President Bush will WIN Ohio.
That's because he was up, and comfortably, with a week to go. The DWI revelation and premature FL call changed all that.
Bullhockey. Back that assertion up with some facts.

YEAH, and Rosie and Cher have a "handful" at their speeches.....Florida, I feel will go Bush...they are tired of the Dems rhetoric and Bush has done a great job in their state!!!
Are you ALWAYS completely pessimistic in the face of good news?
But are you and others prepared emotionally for when the lamestream media tells you Kerry has closed the gap and it's a dead heat?
I'd rather have them tell us it's a dead heat and then BLOW their socks off next Tuesday by winning 8-10 pts!
50,000 in Jax, 25,000 in Melbourne on the same day for the President, right??
FL will go for President Bush.
(both in FL)
I just called the superintendent of elections in my county in northern NJ to check that my registration was received. She said yes, I'm all set. But what she then volunteered bothered me a bit: 1) they accepted faxed applicatons this year because 2) the volume of registrants was so high.
I am suspicious--normally the rats are involved in election fraud to some degree (see 1960 Illinois presidential race) but this year it is wholesale.
Those numbers make me VERY happy! :o)
Completely agreed. When will the doom and gloom folks stop. Some of these people have been posting for years...
I went to the Jax rally on Saturday and let me tell you with a base like that BUSH IS NOT LOSING FLORIDA -- GET OVER IT. I just talked to a jazz college professor who said he voted for Gore in 2000 but now he is for W. (This is in FL). Another dem for Bush. There, FL is for W.
Haven't you people been listening anyway? The race has tightened in Hawaii! Kerry's losing. We have the momentum, we have the lead in WI, IA, NM, maybe even MN - FL is for W, and I think OH is, too. Who cares about the Dow indicators -- hasn't anyone realized this is an election like no other. But maybe we'll start blaming Bush for the high gas prices, too. I'll give you an indicator --
Kerry is losing ground and defending Gore states.
Bush is fighting for Gore states.
Florida is energized.
No incumbent has ever lost after the debates with a lead.
Bush has doubled the black vote from 2000.
Bush has closed the gap on the women vote from 2000.
Bush has a fired up conservative Christian/Catholic base that will be out in arms like they weren't in 2000.
W IS FOR WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!
So keep working hard for W, get out the vote, cast your vote either by early voting, absentee, or on Nov 2, and relax as you watch Dan Rather implode on the election night when he announces that W has won by a much larger margin than thought possible!!!
Jeb was lucky though that his opponent pretty much flubbed one of their last debates. He sank after that. Still the Dem was well financed and the Dems threw everything they could at Jeb.
Repubs also did well in '02 though because GWB's approval ratings were very high. So it is tough to see many parallels between then and now. We just have to hope the American people show good sense.
I'll believe this when it actually happens.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned the rulings by Clinton appointed judges forcing Ohio and Michigan to use provisional ballots.
