The key to the Democrats winning the popular vote is.. |
|
Texas.
In 2000 I believe Al Gore won the popular vote because he got 2.5 million votes in Texas. I find it amazing that 2.5 million people voted for Gore even though he had no chance of winning that state.
If Kerry gets 38-41% of the vote in Texas, he will definitely win the popular vote. A recent poll by Survey USA has Kerry getting 37% of the vote in Texas.

1. He only needs to win the electoral vote. |
|
But I have to say I feel that he'll probably have at least a 2% advantage in the popular vote.

3. That wasn't because Bush lost the popular vote. |
|
That was because BUSH LOST FLORIDA and the fuckery of the Supreme Court is the only reason the bastard became President.
