I am up at 4:00 am after a thunder storm passed by. I havae been reading diaries and comments that repeatedly say we will kick Rep ass in '08.
My question is: What states that were Red for Bush in '04 will be Blue in '08? This is an important question. I like to be pessimistic. It prepares one for dissapointment. I sit and think, Which states will be so discusted that they will give electoral votes to Dems in '08?
So we win the popular vote by 10,000,000 votes, and no states change over and we still don't win the White House. Not Good. More ruminating below.
Which are the winning matchups? I think Hillary vs. Guliani is very dangerous. Rudy takes NY. Hillary wins nothing in the south. We lose.
Obama is nominated. We win Ohio, but not Florida, and we lose 2 blue states that won't vote for an african american. We lose.
Edwards vs. McCain. That looks like the best matchup, but Edwards turns over no states in the west, and McCain get Colo, Mont, and Nev, and Fla, and Edwards doesn't get SC. Very close race, we lose Iowa and Wisc. and we are dead.
What do you think. I think we have a tough road to hoe, because Hillary has the Machine and will get the nomination, and will procede to get swift boated big time and she plays very badly against Guliani, and not pick up ANY southern states or Fla, and not pick up any in the west and lose by 2 electoral votes and we are fuc*ed. That's my guess.
What happens if Gore runs?
What is yours?
