No Republican has lost there in 20 years (or even tied). Not good.

---How can 19-7 Bush be a bad sign???? I'm not getting why people seem to be upset by these numbers

Um. In all this discussion of "past trends" and future history, there USED to be something called the ZERO factor.

It was a belief (based on past events) that ANY president elected in a year ending in ZERO would DIE in office.

Ronald Reagan faced the ZERO FACTOR and lived. Two terms.

George W. Bush was also elected in a year ending in ZERO (2000) and will have made it to his re-election without a scratch.

If Bush is 19 and Kerry is 7 - how is that bad for Bush ..??
