Aside from Ithaca, the Finger Lakes region would be best. Great Riesling as well (best outside of Europe).
“Btw, wasn’t Romney leading the pack just a short while back on these Intrade.com futures?”

It predicted Hillary would beat Rudy.
Te race will be McCain v Obama.
(And if Hillary tries to use superdelegates to breat obama, all hell will break loose.)
I think despite conservative caterwauling, this is a lot like the 1976 choice between Ford and Carter - except Obama is even more liberal than Carter, with zero credentials as a real Christian and not a southerner.
If you are objective and not using your heart(what you want, not factual).. you would admit McCain has an excellent change to win in November.

I like facts, let’s look at some, more than half of Republicans despise McCain, as soon as he is nominated the media will turn on him and rip him apart, Hillary has copies of 900 FBI files and a nationwide voting fraud machine, she has a mountain of stuff to dump on McCain, either as “October surprise” material or earlier. McCain has almost no chance of beating Hillary, he might have a chance of beating Obama but only if Hillary goes into a rage and does everything possible to defeat Obama. McCain is the worst possible candidate to run against Hillary and that is exactly the reason the media have been telling you for months that McCain is the only Republican who can beat her. Do you think they would ever say it if they believed it?
If the Dems run an Obama/Clinton ticket he may not even win that.

Surely even Obama cannot be idiot enough to run with Clinton in the VP slot!
It won't be If . . . it will be when she tries to use superdelegates.
She will do anything to get the nomination.
Hhmmm...Any idea of why this is?
Any idea of who we should hold responsible?
Hey, imagine that. Most of the states McCain won during the primary don’t have a prayer of going Republican anyhow.
Why on Earth does the Republican party allow blue states to choose our nominee?
[Why on Earth does the Republican party allow blue states to choose our nominee?}
Blame it on Rudy Giuliani. His campaign pushed for giving New York and New jersey a giver bigger voice in selecting the GOP nominee.
We ought to have partial primaries like the Democrats in every state...where the delegates are apportioned according to the number of votes that they’ve won in each state.
The current system allows NY, NJ, SC, and FL to choose the nominee.
I don't think he would be too enthused about it but the party leadership would be for it.
If he runs without her all the the feminists lining up on her side will be upset.
In this case he can just wear a bulletproof vest the next four years
If she runs without him the blacks will go bananas berserk.
McCain doesn’t put Cali in play?
Hopefully, it won't be all blue except for Arizona.
FReegards!

I’ve looked at this very closely and the election can only be won by a Republican candidate by taking the following states: Missouri, Iowa, Colorado and Wisconsin, the latter being the most difficult. That would come to 271 votes but there are no other states in play if I read this correctly.
Minnesota and New Mexico are other possibles but I see them less likely. All the rest are lost and irretrievable short of a nuclear war between now and November.
