Swing Voters and Elect-ability
Swing Voters and Elect-ability

We all know of the 35% that are ALWAYS going to vote the RATpublican ticket. Just like the 30% that vote a strictly Dem ticket. Which leaves us with the 35% of Middle America that will have to be “Wooed” over to elect a presidential candidate?

How powerful does a political message have to be to overcome traditional stereotypes and prejudices?

How much of a margin do we need to overcome the Electronic Voting Systems? Remember Al Gore’s winning campaign in 2000?

Can the Constitution of the United States stand up to 4 more years of RATpublican and Corporatist assaults on our freedoms?

Can the American Worker endure 4 more years of Sweetheart foreign trade agreements for greedy corporations and CEOs?

BUT MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL – Why is the Right Wing Media trying to cram HRC down our throats? Because they know they can beat her or because they believe she will cooperate

Everyone I talk to doesn't like her at all. RATpublicans are laughing all the way to Nov 08. But still she polls well.

If it were on-line polls I would attribute it to a Freeper skeu
