We'll appreciate that a lot more when Texas, Georgia and Ariz turn purple, then solid blue.

They may not happen in my lifetime or yours. Texas will turn blue about the same time as Ca turns back to REd. of course that will be when 1/2 the people who used to live in Ca relocate to Texas...

Did you just realize this, because it is kind of a trend that has been happening since the 2000 census? Besides it comes at the cost of places like Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado, and Nevada being competitive.

These changes have been included in the electoral college polls for some time now, so they will not change what we have already been seeing in those polls.

RealClearPolitics - 2012 Election Maps - Electoral Map

In fact, I don't recall seeing any maps this year that have not included these changes.

All electoral maps have Obama up by a min 30 points they have been this way for 2 months how R Money only got like a 3 to 5 point bump after the RNC this is just so funny people were expecting R Money to get a 15 to 20 point bump which never happened. These maps just show how out of touch and how much he is truly hated

[SIZE=5]His full Name is: Willard Mitt Romney
[/SIZE]






Many of you, including me, may not have thought this was the best choice, but I found some of this information to be very enlightening.

His full Name is: [SIZE=4]Willard Mitt Romney[/SIZE]

He was Born: March 12, 1947 and is 65 years old.

His Father: George W. Romney, former Governor of the State of Michigan

He was raised in Bloomfield Hills , Michigan

He is Married to Ann Romney since 1969; they five children.

Education: B.A. From Brigham Young University,

J.D. And M.B.A. From Harvard University

Religion: Mormon - The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints

[SIZE=4] Working Background:[/SIZE]

After high school, he spent 30 months in France as a Mormon
Missionary.

After going to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School
Simultaneously, he passed the Michigan bar exam, but never worked as an
Attorney.

In 1984, he co-founded Bain Capital a private equity
Investment firm, one of the largest such firms in the United States .

In 1994, he ran for Senator of Massachusetts and lost to Ted
Kennedy.

He was President and CEO of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.

In 2002, he was elected Governor of the State of
Massachusetts where he eliminated a 1.5 billion deficit.

Some Interesting Facts about Romney:

Bain Capital, starting with one small office supply store
In Massachusetts, turned it into Staples; now over 2,000 stores
Employing 90,000 people.

Bain Capital also worked to perform the same kinds of
Business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino's, Sealy,
Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group, Dollarama,
Home Depot Supply, and many others.

He was an unpaid volunteer campaign worker for his dad's
Gubernatorial campaign 1 year.

He was an unpaid intern in his dad's governor's office for
Eight years.

He was an unpaid bishop and state president of his church
For ten years.

He was an unpaid President of the Salt Lake Olympic
Committee for three years.

He took no salary and was the unpaid Governor of
Massachusetts for four years.

He gave his entire inheritance from his father to charity.

Mitt Romney is one of the wealthiest self-made men in our
Country but has given more back to its citizens in terms of money,
Service and time than most men.

And in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity,
Almost 19% of his income.... Just for comparison purposes, Obama gave
1% and Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013%.

Mitt Romney is Trustworthy:

He will show us his birth certificate

He will show us his high school and college transcripts.

He will show us his social security card.

He will show us his law degree.

He will show us his draft notice.

He will show us his medical records.

He will show us his income tax records.

He will show us he has nothing to hide.

i WOULD RATHER VOTE FOR A MAN WHO MADE MILLIONS EMPLOYING MILLIONS THEN OBAMA WHO SPENT TRILLIONS UNEMPLOYING THEM AND now thanks to Obama ..every single person in this country is forced to pay more then $51000.. our children, grandchildren parents etc. thanks obama for nothing!

You people should look at Texas history, it has been a blue state in the past and will be again in the future, maybe you should understand that the majority of our major cities are run by Democrats. That said, Texas Dems are more conservative than Democrats in Cal but that will not matter when it comes down to it. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it
