Colmes is taking a major beating tonight from Ron Silver and Michael Reagan. The Dims. are just looking more and more desparate. I just pray the rest of the country sees that.

I posted this to another thread earlier. My 9th grader said the high schools around the country had a mock election. I can't believe these results as shown today at http://www.channelone.com/election_2004/results/

"American teens have spoken, and they want George W. Bush for president. Nearly 1.4 million teens voted in the nation's largest mock election, and the Republican incumbent wound up with 393 electoral votes and 55 percent of the total votes cast.

Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry received 145 electoral votes, far short of the 270 electoral votes needed to win a presidential election. Kerry received 40 percent of the total votes, while five percent of teens selected the third-party option, though no third-party presidential hopefuls managed to pick up any electoral votes".

The link has a comprehensive chart for all states and percentages, but here's a few facts.......

In the NE, Bush won VT,NH,DE,PA.
Bush swept every state in the midwest. MI was too close to call most of the day and ended up the closest of all state results. Out of 88,000, the difference was 170 votes! IL & IA were also close.
Bush swept all SE states, with SC & MS being close races.
In the west, Bush won all but CA & HI.


A few states the teens picked for W are surprising, but overall, I hope this is an indicator that the Nov.2 election won't be close either! America's teenagers are heading in the right direction, aren't they?
