GOOD NEWS: Bush Might Gain 2 Million Votes Where He Doesn't Need [View All]

[jefferson_dem]

Why is this good news, you ask? The more chimp's
support is artifically and meaninglessly inflated in
already firetruck red states, and based on the latest
national poll numbers, the closer or more ahead Kerry is
in the battlegrounds. Get the drift?!
Bwahahahahahahahah.

Bush Might Gain 2 Million Votes Where He Doesn't Need
Them

Oct. 21 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush
is poised to gain 2 million votes this year in the three
most-populous U.S. states: California, Texas and New
York. None of those ballots will help him win
re-election.

With national polls showing a deadlocked race between
Bush and Democratic nominee John Kerry, polls in
individual states show Bush gains over his 2000 totals
in some places he is already likely to win easily and in
others where he is too far behind for his gains to
matter.

Bush's surge of support in states that aren't in play in
this election could even put him in the position of his
2000 opponent, former Vice President Al Gore: winning
the nationwide popular vote while losing the Electoral
College and the presidency.

The scenario of ``Bush wins popular vote, loses
Electoral College is very real,'' said John Zogby,
president of Utica, New York-based polling firm Zogby
International.

States where Bush needs votes include Florida, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which advisers to the
president and to Kerry, the four-term Massachusetts
senator, agree will decide the election.
