Vote for Virgil Goode!!!! Only conservative running this round. Throw the two liberals down the drain.
On the other hand if you look at the data the way I would (looking for factions or part of factions slipping from one major party to another over time), that is, in fact, what we see.
An astute analyst interested in making an awful lot of money as an accurate prognosticator would go find out what the identity is of the factions moving from one party to another within the states where that partisanship indicator has moved off the baseline.
Here's a thought for some smart young whippersnapper to jump on. Louisiana has been drifting Republican ~ and that's obviously because Southern White Catholic voters (onliest kind they gots eh) in Louisiana are voting Republican more often. But Katrina happened ~ and before that event many African Americans around the country found New Orleans to be a really great place to relocate their elders ~ good food, great climate (for AAs), great access to high quality medical treatment, and, best of all, some of the least expensive decent housing in America.
Is the current rejustment an echo of Katrina? Or are African Americans who move there from out of state actually voting Republican to a greater degree than the folks who've lived there all their lives?
In the real world, which I live in, exactly one of Mitt Romney and Bork Obunga is going to be president of the US from 2013 to at least 2016. I believe the nation could easily survive four or even eight years of Romney; I cannot picture any nation surviving eight years of Bork Obunga. Doing anything other than supporting Romney is basically trying to get Bork Obunga re-elected.
I mean, I like fantasy worlds as much as the next guy but I don't LIVE in one of them...
Actually, there are many conservatives running for ‘12 POTUS from a variety of minor political parties as well as Independent runs, and I’m not including Libertarian Gary Johnson or any other Libertarians/libertarians. It’s just that Virgil Goode has the largest number of supporters, among all of the remaining conservative candidates running for ‘12 POTUS.
Come back to earth. Goode is a former democRat congressman. He’s center-left at best. Definitely not conservative.
Isn’t Virgil Goode running to help throw swing states such as Virginia to Obama?
