TN is arguably one of the reddest states in the union...and I am a proud Volunteer. We had a tax revolt here against a RINO governor, and, outside of recent shenanigans, our state remains red. We defeated O by almost 20 points here!
Perhaps that will change after 2010 census for the 2012 election. We need to get a whole lot more electoral votes in Red and Purple states, and hopefully loose a lot more in Blue states.
We could swing California if they had proportional electoral voting like Maine does. Then the winner in the Congressional District gets the electoral vote instead of winner take all. I thought there was an attempt to bring this about, but I guess something happened. Anybody know what the status is on that front?
Let's hope there is an election in 2012, and a country to hold an election in.
