The ONLY reason Ohio ‘went blue’ is the screwy ‘winner take all’ model for electoral votes; driven by the large metro areas; Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland, along with Dayton, and Toledo.
A right and proper model would be to cast electoral votes by congressional district, with the two representing the Senate seats cast for the popular vote winner.
Sadly, it seems no one has the political stones to take on this fight...
So, Ohio is up for grabs by the ‘gibsmedat’ crowd, and will likely swing to the candidate who promises the mostest for the leastest.
Any lawyers here? How could Clinton's campaign possibly have any "standing" to sue for anything in WI and OH?
I think Hillary is in trouble for these reasons:
(1) You can’t hide the fact she is 67 years old with wrinkles, an old voice and a wide caboose. She will not inspire the youth vote.
(2) Bill and Hillary are one-percenters. They are filthy rich. Hillary hasn’t driven a car since 1996. She sat on the board of Walmart and made a fast $100K trading cattle futures. She can’t run as one of the “little people”.
(3) She’s had lots of titles, but show me the list of her accomplishments. What did she do in the Senate? As Sec of State? She’s all hat and no cattle. She is very vulnerable to attack as having gotten very little done.
(4) Hillary is not a naturally likeable person. In fact, she is quite prickly. That’s one reason they have been hiding her from the press and the general public. Eventually, she needs to stand next to the Republican candidate and present herself for all to see.
(5) You can’t run for President without presenting a platform of ideas and positions. She has so far avoided standing for anything. She will at some point need either (a) embrace the Obama agenda and give us 4 more years (which no one wants) or (b) run against Obama (in which case she risks alienating the Democrat base and runs against the administration she served in).
Feingold has been promised the moon
as we say in Wisconsin...... you betcha...
Same thing going on in AZ with McPain in the fanny out there. just puleeeze retire, some of you old poops. Just get off the stage, will ya?
We were all delighted to finally dump Feingold, however, the dear GOP Ron Johnson has way too many times sided with the RINOS and we’re pretty disappointed in him.
Well put Senator Blutarski (love it!) & agree, just wait until the debates, that is if the Queen participates.
You think her poll #’s bad now, wait until everyone get’s to hear the screech in action. Lipstick on a pig.
