The more Kalifornians that take over my state, the worse it gets. Clark County where Vegas is in has the highest population of any county in the state and it is also the only county in the state that Gore won in 2000.

Nevada has been close the last few elections. All the new growth in Las Vegas has pulled in a bunch of Californians.

That's totally cool, but all it seems to take is one little stunt or news story to change all that.  What give me most of my doubts is, I see more coverage of the protesters that the RNC.   As soon as the left sees those numbers, the antics are gonna start all over again.

Tennessee blue? I hope not!


Not likely but possible.

Tennessee has a Republican governor last term along with the Democrats in the State legislature who decided that they was going to have a state income tax no matter what the population though about it. He became incredibly unpopular and despite the Republican is the State legislature working to and eventually killing the income tax it hurt the Republican Party

As a result we now have a Democratic governor who is actually working with the Republicans in the legislature to straighten out some major problems. He has become pretty popular as a result and might help Kerry.

It also does not help that the Eastern part of the State which has been mostly Republican from 1861 has been badly hurt with job loses which keep on coming and coming.

I doubt Kerry can carry TN but it is possible.

Going by bumper stickers, window stickers and yard signs, I say Tennessee will be in the Bush camp again.  I am talking rural areas like where I live and urban areas like where I work and do everything else.

A lot of Democrats are very conservative in Tennessee the problem is many of those very conservative Democrats in West TN vote straight party line in national elections.

East TN is pretty solid Republican and had tended that way for 140 years.

They are bringing their liberal ideas to a state that has been run sucessfully for the last decade, unlike Kalifornia.. I'm sure alot of you hav this problem, that gun discussions come up even when you don't initiate them. Well, I'm amazed just how many people seem to think our AR's are for pyschos and CCW holders turns this into the wild wild west. I'm not surprised how many of them moved here from places like LA, where they are many times more likely to get shot.

Vermont is the biggest idiosyncrocy out there...  pro-gun, but Pat Lehay is one of the senators and Howard Dean was their governor.  You can have class 3 and carry concealed without a permit no matter which state you are from... and you can even carry to Sunday's gay wedding... Don't try to understand... don't try to understand...



Didn't a Socialist (Bernie Sanders) get elected to the house from Vermont?  He was part of the Dem Caucus (Surprise!)

It might when it actually comes to voting. Will hating Bush motivate voter turnout as much as or more that really supporting Kerry will.

Hmmm - surprised to see PA in the Bush corner, even if in the "barely" category.    Was one of the contested states last time around, but I believe Gore ended up beating Bush pretty soundly, and if anything, it seems like it is getting more left-leaning year after year, as Philly and Pittsburg keep devouring the rest of the state.

Have you ever seen the Red/Blue map that goes by counties?  It's eye opening, in Mich you see blue around Detroit, Lansing and Flint and the rest of the state in red.  Same with PA and IL and even NY.  The Dems rely on getting high "turnout" (read: corruption) in the urban areas where they have 90% of the vote to make up for the rest of the state where they struggle to hit 40%.

California is red in most of the state, with LA, Imperial County (migrant workers), and most of the bay area blue.

Why did the commies get blue, by the way?

Calif needs to be split into 2 or 3 states. The rural Red Blooded low population counties get dicked by the few over super-populated Blue Demo counties. IIRC my county was 80% Bush in last election...!


Or change the Electoral Votes to county instead of state voted.
