Well, it looks as if we'll be dealing with "hanging chads" one more time.
What “advantage” in the Electoral College for Jeb Bush?
FL (toss-up at best - maybe a slight edge since he was FL Gov, but for being a big state, big name politicians are few and far between so that isn’t saying much)
VA - No chance. He’ll underperform in the DC suburbs and won’t get the full backing of the rural SW. We’ve seen this play out over several cycles now.
MI - write-it off
PA - Write it off
NM, NV, IA, NH - Write them all off
CO - Maybe, but won’t matter with the other write-offs
OH - Lucas/Cuyahoga/Franklin combo will beat any RINO and some of those Dems that defected in the Southeast part of the state might go back.
So where was that Electoral College advantage again?
“Enormously” popular in Florida? Really? I live in FL and beg to differ.
If Ted Cruz runs at the top, he should take Rubio. That would ignore the traditional “balancing” of the ticket and use the idea Clinton did when he picked AlGore. A Cruz/Rubio ticket wins in a massive landslide. From the VP role, Rubio won’t have time to draft an amnesty plan so he should be okay for that spot.
