The problem with that logic is we've seen enough "too close to call" elections to know we can't take any state for granted. We saw it in 2000. In a too close to call state like Virginia, If Romney gets 48%, Goode gets 2%, and Hoefling gets 1% of the popular vote while Obama gets 49%, then Obama wins and gets all of the state's electoral votes, even though he didn't get a majority of the popular vote. And a lot of "Obama" states could be "too close to call" states if the economy doesn't improve.

(I'm not talking 'bout the too-close-to-call swing states -- like Virginia...only the obvious liberal states)

I get it, but if things don't improve and enough people see their own situations and their children's futures getting worse and worse, many "liberal" states may become "too close to call" states. I live in a true blue state, but I'm not taking anything for granted.

In the mean time, you have three months to help us find a Conservative alternative that has a chance of winning, so hop to it.:)
