Strong Kerry (67)
Weak Kerry (140)
Barely Kerry (50)
Exactly tied (7)
Barely Bush (74)
Weak Bush (3
Strong Bush (162)


Bush has 3 times as many STRONG states that he's virtually guaranteed to carry than does Kerry. Most of the electoral college votes being given to kerry on this site are in states where the margin of error exceeds Kerry's margin of support in the polls.

Could it be Dukakis all over again?

Think about it? Dukakis in the tank, Kerry in Camos hunting geese?

I see similarities.

Because of the changes in population....and thus the changes in Electoral Votes for certain states......Kerry HAS to win ALL the states that Gore won in 2000 PLUS take some of Bush's states....in order to win. On the other hand, Bush could actually lose one or two of what he won last time and STILL win.

I prefer to visualize Kerry in his Nasa "teletubby" suit combined with "orange-face" Kerry to produce.... OOMPA LOOMPA Kerry!!! the action figure comes complete with a white "african-american" loudmouth.... pull her string and watch a faux pas fly out of her mouth and her foot fly in!!!

Coming next episode.. "pretty-boy" faith healing veep candidate complete with extra chubby, slightly beady-eyed, piglike companion!!

the wives in this race.

I thought Theresa's comments about Laura Bush in her USA Today interview were APPALLING...dismissive, snide, and rude, and I don't think Elizabeth Edwards is deserving of those comments.

If you want to critique what she said, fine. But don't make derogatory comments about her physical appearance, which is irrelevant to the issues.

They got themselves involved with their comments... I don't see you jumping on people here who refer to Laura Bush as "pickles"... yet you jump on me....

I think Sin's comments were overboard as well. However, Ms. Edwards did make some personal comments herself. She said something about Liz Cheney must be ashamed of her gay daughter. I can't remember the exact quote....but it was a personal slap in the face and totally uncalled for. At that point I did say something about Ms. Edwards weight......saying I bet she wouldn't have liked it had someone brought up an obesity issue in regards to healthcare during the debates...and the president named her in such a gratuitous manner. Those kinds of nasty comments in the race have only been made so far in this campaign by the Democrat wives. Laura Bush....being the class LADY that she is.....has had nothing but very nice things to say about the other wives and families.

Dem wives could learn a lesson.

The site for whatever reason does not include CA, IL, CT and NJ in "Strong Kerry" states. If that's the best news you can find regarding the election - Bush is in serious trouble


-Bush is ahead in red states by a bigger margin than in 2000
-Kerry is ahead in blue states by a smaller margin than Gore was in 2000.
-Bush and Kerry are tied nationally

Multiple choice question: What is that supposed to mean?

1. Bush is a uniter, not a divider
2. Bush is a compassionate conservative
3. The world is a safer place now.
4. Kerry is ahead in battleground states.

So you condemn my statements then you, in the same paragraph, admit to the same sort of behavior?

What it all means is....Kerry's in trouble. IF Bush is ahead by a larger margin in the states he won in 2000....and Kerry has a smaller margin than Gore did in 2000 in the states he won....Kerry's in trouble. That means that Kerry is not doing even as well as Gore did. That means that Bush will win both the Electoral Votes as well as the popular vote this time. And that doesn't surprise me. In Texas.....our Early voting has broken records. Higher even than the voting cast in 2000.

Wrong answer, no cookie for you! I knew it was going to be too hard.

The right answer was #4. If Bush get more votes in red states and more votes in blue states (still losing them) but the same number of votes nationwide - that means he gets less votes in battleground states.
