Top 5 states have more than 1/3 of the potential votes. Alowed flawed, I prefer the Electoral over the Popular. It evens out the smaller states rights to a degree. Stats. Save a Cowboy, ride a Redhead.

Obviously this is 5 months out and some of those are razor thin margins, but I've got to believe that his support within the Dem party will solidify some now that he is the nominee. Even if he doesn't get all of the Hillary voters back, he's gonna get a lot of them back.

Especially in a few of those razor close states. Obama / Hillary has a better chance that Obama / anyone else. The fact that they can fight like dogs and cats and then present a united front (if done well) should impress some "crowds". Probably enough to swing it moreso in the dems favour. I think Obama will select Hillary as she will help in some of those razor-thin states. Edit to say: Why is that site Sara linked to showing Florida as "Strong GOP"???. I know 2000 they were not that strong. Has it change dthat much that quickly? Last Edited By: lylenorg 06/06/08 5:55 PM. Edited 1 times.

If you take this bet, you should know that as of tomorrow's concession speech I will have earned $200 from Jimmy thanks to a bet made over a year ago as to whether Hillary would be our next President. I'm on a hot streak baby!

Well, except in people like a particular friend of mine who is absolutely convinced that Edwards was born wealthy and inherited some sort of fortune from his parents and therefore isn't qualified to be president. Of course, she also thinks astrology is "too scientific" and the highway once voted the most dangerous in America is safer than the interstate.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Somebody else put much more thought into this The job of Vice President of the United States is an important one, with powers enshrined in the Constitution rivalling those of Miss Teen Delaware. In addition to speaking to middle schools, tampering with intelligence to start wars and shooting people in the face, a Vice President must be ready to take over as President at any time, and thus shoulder a mantle of responsibility weightier than all the Miss Teen Delaware tiaras in in all of human history combined! Ideally, this won't happen until after the President's second term, which gives the VP 8 years where all he needs to do is look pretty and not get in the way, while collecting an annual salary of $200,000. Ladies and gentlemen, I wouldn't say no. (He cant decide between Ned Beatty & Airwolf)

Then Pres could actually change the direction of the supreme court with three posts in his term.

I heard Maxine Waters' people are lobbying the Obamaists on her behalf.

I know that he said he wouldn't accept it, but that would be a nice ticket. At this point I hope it's not Hillary. It would be such a relief to take away the focus for all the Republican hate. Ten years of demonizing Hillary Clinton and all of a sudden - nothing. The silence would be deafening.
