I'm pretty sure Obama's preacher and Palin's tard baby had something to do with it. |
Man, if the American public thought young John-John Kennedy popping up from under the president's desk was endearing, wait until Palin's kid does it, but with a fresh, sandy snack in hand from the White House cat box. Precious.
The dedication you show to any particular console or company is inversely proportional to the number of times you have gotten laid. If you get laid enough, even if you prefer a certain brand, you just don't give enough of a shit to argue about it on the internet.

Wow....I had no idea that Red and Blue states was such a relatively recent term. The 2000 election was the first one I really got involved with....so they've always just 'been there.'

Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

If Mickey Mouse ran on the Democratic Ticket, I think DC would still be blue.

Probably, which is why I didn't mention it. DC almost always votes Democrat.

2000 is closest.
Obama should win all of the Gore states, and I expect he'll pick up two to three of the following eight:
Colorado, New Hampshire, Virginia, Ohio, Misouri, Florida, Indiana, Nevada
Personally, I think it goes:
Obama states = Gore states + NH + Colorado
That would be ~273 electoal votes.
Barr could flip Montana, Alaska (heh Palin or not), Colorado, maybe a few others to Obama if he gets 3%+ in those libertarian areas. Clinton won in 92' because of Perot's help in places like Montana, Louisiana, Georgia, etc.

No way does Obama win Alaska. In case you hadn't noticed, Palin has a ~90% approval rating there. That's stupid-crazy-high.
Automatic GOP win.

What does DC stand for? it's one of those tiny states I can't remember the name of.
Also....Why do Americans always do things the opposite to everywhere else?
---from the Wiki page:
"The choice of colors in this divide is counter-intuitive to many international observers, as throughout the world, red is commonly the designated color for parties representing labor, socialist, communist, and/or liberal interests,[12] [13] which in the United States would be more closely correlated with the Democratic Party. Similarly, blue is used in these countries to depict conservative parties which in the case of the United States would be a color more suitable for the Republicans."

District of Columbia. It's not a state at all. It's where all our national clownshoes collect to talk about how much they're going to screw us.
