Electoral college map shows that regardless of candidate, if the election were held today, a Democrat would be elected to the nation’s highest office. Red states that would flip include: Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Missouri, Iowa, Arkansas, Ohio and West Virginia. No Blue state would become red. The count would be: Democrats, 306, Republicans 232.

I've said so for a while, but most Freepers just dismiss it and live on in fantasy invincible GOP land. In particular I have said for a while that Dubya wouldn't win my state of Nevada if the election were held today, and also that Hilly could conceivably win it against a lackluster GOP candidate.

Time to snap out if it people - stop thinking that most of the nation is as nutty as you are.

A Hillary candidacy is the GOP's only hope, except for {God forbid} another terrorist attack.

The Dems have alot of electoral strategies to use to win 2008:

- they can take Ohio
- or they can take NM+NV+CO (19 EVs), and with Richardson as VP, that’s a strong play for them

If we put up a candidate who has no chance to flip any Kerry states (Thompson for example) - we have to win Ohio, win either one of CO or NV, and hold Iowa too.

Here in Ohio it is clear from the 2006 election that the trend is blue. Our VERY conservative candidate for Governor lost by over 20%, and we lost a Senate seat to a complete left-wing moonbat.

A Republican might win Ohio next year, but not if the election is very close. That means the Republican candidate needs to win a Blue state to get elected. Outside of Rudy I don’t see anyone out there who can win PA or NJ or MI or some other major blue state.

The South plus the smaller Midwest and Rockies states aren’t enough. We have to have a major state on the coasts or in the Midwest. Tall order, and anyone representing the Bush - Delay - Frist brand isn’t going to cut it.

And what, oh wise one, do you suggest we do about it?

Well I ain't agonna vote fer no libral. That guy from New York, I forgit his name, well I got the inside dope on him. Straight from the horses mouth. I was down to tha Postal Office this mornin', pickin up my check an' I heard 'em talkin. Right there in the U.S. Government Postal Office. They says he's a Philatelist. Right there in the Post Office, thay said it aloud.

Well a man's got a right to have his goats. Got nuthin' agin' that. But doin' THAT with a goat well it's against somethin'. I'd wooden do none of that. Cept that night me an' Luther got drunk but that was a time ago. So there you have it. I ain't votin' fer no libral.

You mean that principled conservatives like Hunter or Gingrich, not to mention Thompson, are losers? After all, there is no hope for liberal Rudy to win, but man oh man, how about the chances of those true conservative candidates?

The article indicates that, “regardless of candidate, if the election were held today, a Democrat would be elected to the nation’s highest office.” So, why the heck have we been fighting?

We're done, that's it, it's over folks, burn baby burn!

That needed to be said again.
