Default Republicans . . . nasty dog food

It's interesting that all the Democrats who won't endorse Obama are from states in the South [right in the "mother lode" of the GOP]. Just like the Republicans who won't vote for McCain come out of districts once thought safe for Republicans.

The GOP will look a miniature of itself after Nov. 4 [whole states are expected to turn Democrat - Georgia \ Mississippi \ Florida\ Colorado\ Nevada\ Missouri

You wont see Florida turning Democrat.

And 450,000 code pink members with tons of money are now saying they wont support Obama.

I will take that trade, 450,000 for 14. Afterall 14 votes, we dont need them.

But all dem senators and representatives will back Obama wont they, even they many of them disagree they dont have the GUTS to stand against him like the rep party does.

Some of those are long shots (GA MI), some are very close but looking red (FL, MO) and Nevada is clearly RED, possibly only Colorado a swing state where the DNC is held this year is clearly BLUE on your list.

Time will tell but the odds are in Obama's favor to pick-up a surprising number of once Red states & Nevada is very much in play [also New Mexico, Ohio, North Carolina, Indiana].

The GOP will be down-sizing considerably thanks to President Bush. There's quite a bit of Republican anger with Bush, esp since he picked a VP who never wanted to be president [except behind closed doors]. There is no "heir apparent" & McCain certainly is not the pick for many well-known hard-core Republicans. No interest translates into no money = McCain loses big.

Anyone that thinks NC will go to the Democrats is fooling themselves. There are pockets of blue in this state, but overall, we're bitter, clinging to our guns and religion.

I think the scales are tipped against your favor when 4-6% of the voting base is leaning towards Bob Barr, and a decent portion of those are conservatives who dont like McCain.

New Mexico yes, not NC or IN, maybe OH ... so where did you get the stats? I'm sure CNN is a trustable source as well as two more for you.

Glad you are coming to terms with yourselves. Are you seeking therapy?
