246 - It *IS* rigged!

"The people have spoken, the bastards!"
-Dick Tuck

I'd heard numbers bandied about on where Democrats START national campaigns.

2012 is a good starting point. 2008 included the Indiana anomaly.

Obama 332
Romney 206



Take away from Obama's total
Nevada 6
Colorado 9
New Mexico 5
Iowa 6
Virginia 13
Ohio 18 AND Florida 29

You get 246. A Democrat has to pick up 23 Electoral College votes in any of those states to win.

Sorry Republicans. It just that stacked against you...and it's NOT going to get any better

I am reminded about how many idiots there are out there. Deluded, bonkers idiots. How anyone can vote for toilet mouth is beyond me.
