What, and FR is chopped liver? ;)
There’s a lot of electoral analysis out there right now, not much of it is very thorough. Plus most want to make it out to be a race. But really, Mccain has a pretty good advantage. He can lose, of course, but it’s not currently as close as most people make it look.
I’m wondering how Coloradans feel about their new law allowing males to use female restrooms and vice versa. Genuflecting to the GLBT agenda may push this state back to the more Conservative side. We can hope. I’m thinking California will be more of a battleground than usual. Both sides will be out in force and voting due to the Gay Marriage issue on our ballot this November.
PING
No, but the kiddies might be confused by the arguments over whether the Electoral College is Creationist or Darwinist.
uh...nope.
The election is 5 months away.....a helluva lot can, and will change in the upcoming months.
Five months is an eternity in polotics.
I believe in the end, McCain will have more than enough electoral college votes to win the presidency.
I thought California already rejected that - is this a perrenial ballot question, keep asking until they say "YES"?
The election will be decided in these states - Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada. Bush won all of them in 2004. Only Kansas looks remotely solid this time.
McCain can't lose more than 2 of them - and still needs to hold Ohio, as well. He has to invade places like Pennsylvannia and Michigan successfully, if he doesn't sweep most of these Mississippi valley and the weaker west states.
Isolationism is a big vote getter in the middle of the country. McCain can probably hold the southwest states through Hispanic voters, and maybe Colorado through green-ery, at some cost in conservative policy in both cases. But he is against ethanol and in favor of war, in an election being decided in St. Louis and its immediate neighbors.
This isn't going to be easy. Obama is the clear favorite right now. I don't like this, but there it is, that is what we are up against.
This one seems to indicate Kansas is in play. Nonsense.
Even if Sebelius is Obama’s running mate, KS will vote for McCain. Period.
Barack Obama is for getting rid of the Electoral College asap, while, as far as I know, John McCain isn’t for getting rid of it. Truly getting rid of it would take away the political clout of all fifty states and would only allow the most populated states to always be the ones who completely decide who the POTUS will be.
“Continued: 26 remaining states will be analyzed tomorrow.”
Ooooo, I wait with bated breath.
5 months ago Hillary was a sure thing.
I thought this from the article interesting: "The intricacies of the Electoral College system are woven into a system that has proved viable for over 200 years."
Where does the idea the Electoral College meets in Washington come from?
The Electoral College does not meet as a body. Each state’s electors meet in the state capitals and inform the Congress of the results of their votes by mail.
I.e., how should we determine the winner of the World Series?
Shall it be the team which wins four out of seven games? Or shall it be the team which scores the most runs over the course of seven games?
Obama will beat McCain. Mark my words.
There ya go!
The next president is going to be whoever the liberal MSM wants it to be. The "media" created B. Hussein Obama as a way for them to get back at America for the patriotism and unity that Americans displayed after 9-11-01. It's no accident that the black candidate they created has a Muzzie name.
Well, I've always waited until the third period of the fourth quarter, and bases loaded, before I cast my vote.
