Check out Ohio - a little splash of red in a sea of blue - OR election fraud?? You tell me...

1. I'll go with election fraud

and I'll throw in Iowa, too. I remember that was one swing state the Dems thought they'd get, too--and wasn't the final count delayed by quite a bit?

2. Now that you mention it,

Missouri, Colorado, and Nevada are right on that line, too.

5. you forgot New Mexico -- another one w delayed count, that we thought

we'd get.

3. Hey what;'s wrong with Massachusetts?

They let Rhode Island beat them again.


State '04 ECV Approve Disapprove Net
49 Massachusetts Kerry 29% 68% -39%
50 Rhode Island Kerry 25% 72% -47%

4. Don't forget,

we have John Kerry AND Howie Carr.

We also have to put up with at least our fair share of pinheads. ;-)

10. I've wondered about that, too

Then someone had a theory; during the 90's we had a lot of 'imports' from red states; people who came up here during the tech boom for jobs. Those people are the ones who built McMansions, and vote republican, thus driving the repug consensu up artificially.
Thankfully, a lot of that crowd is leaving again, because the economy is not nearly as healthy here as it was before Bush. Yes, we were one of the last states to get hit, but we finally did.

6. A round of applause for North Carolina!

:applause: Shrub's approval rating is down 10% with 43% approving and 53% disapproving. Too little too late, I realize but still, it's something that give me at least a little bit of hope.

7. Same thing in Az.

Funny, the polls weren't that much different here before the election.

[ray of light]

8. yeh, but I heard that even north carolina may have been Kerry's state

too, except for the machines that mysteriously lost votes!

9. just imagine the red state-blue state map today

It was predictable; you can't fool so many people indefinitely. Too late for the 04 election, sadly. If this second * term gets us back the Congress, it will be some consolation.
