No, not at all.
What I am saying is that we must plan and calculate to win without those states.
Bush won without those states in 04, right?
But it was close, and we no longer have a incumbent or strong candidate.
Toss the Clintons into the mix and the odds are against us.
Pa might not be a total lock so we have to spend big in Pa to keep the dems spending big there, but I am under no illusions.
They will do the same to us in Florida - spend big, but the clintons are not counting Florida in the win column.
Think about it.
Flip one other state with a smart pick for VP and we look very bad.
Lose Ohio and its Katie bar the door and hello madam president.
Dude. You are totally scaring me, ok? Just stop it.
Ohio’s teetering like Pennsylvania was twenty years ago. It will fall, it’s only a matter of when.
Same goes for Virginia, Missouri and Colorado. It’s just a matter of time.
I can’t think of a single blue state could swing red in the coming years. Not one.
The future prospects for the GOP are bleak. And if Ohio falls sooner rather than later and Hillary takes the throne in January of 2009, those prospects go from bleak to dead.
