Makes sense. If Clinton carries the 20 states that Kerry took plus Ohio then she's president wih 271 electoral votes.
The MSM has power and influence but not that much. Those who vote in the primaries are mostly the base and the better informed when it comes to the issues and the candidates. We will pick the nominee. I honestly believe we are going to wind up with a brokered convention, with no candidate garnering enough votes on the first ballot.
Nice way to throw in the towel. 50% of voters say they will never vote for Hillary. Do you actually think she is going to get all of the other 50%?
...and the GOP elites think a pro-abortion, pro-gun control, anti-marriage protection candidate will UNITE conservates to the GOP.
He didnt come to public service as a lawyer or an investor, but as the son of a steelworker. Ted was born on August 4, 1941 in Lucasville, Ohio, one of nine children. He spent his childhood active in church and school life. As a young man, he never imagined hed be able to go to college until a high school teacher took him on a trip to Asbury College and Theological Seminary in Kentucky.
His family was able to piece together enough for tuition and, soon after graduating from Northwest High School, he found himself attending Asbury College in Kentucky, receiving a B.A. in History in 1963. He went on to attend the Asbury Theological Seminary and received a Master of Divinity. He continued his studies at the University of Kentucky, receiving a doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology in 1980.
Professionally,Ted has served as a minister, a psychologist, and a college professor. He was an administrator at a Methodist childrens home, an assistant professor of psychology at Shawnee State University, and a consulting psychologist at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility (SOCF).
I would be very surprised if Hillary picked him.
What planet is this writer from???
George Bush got a huge margin of victory in the popular as WELL AS the Electoral College votes!
Unless we nominate a strong red-state candidate, the 'toons could very likely carry Arkansas. If they chose someone like Richardson as the VP, they might carry New Mexico, too.
By all means be sure you put Texas on that list, and Tennessee, and I'll bet she'd be hard-pressed to even win her "home" state of Arkansas.
I think it's time we talked about separating this country along regional lines, group people with similar values - or total lack thereof - together, and let the God-less Yankees go their own way.
Ohio, she will win Ohio. The question is,which blue state will we turn ?
This from a person who never believed she could win before. Now, I don’t know how we stop her.
No matter who runs against her, she will win about six states. There is so much seething hatred for her across America that I believe just about any Republican can beat her (or even an independent). She’s toast.
Perhaps, but Kerry just got by in WI. It works both ways.
Good point.
Really ? How else to explain the fact, then, that a large percentage of the population can not distinguish between good and evil, literally.
How else to explain that 50% of us voted in favor of those endorsed by those sworn to kill us all ? How else to explain the greatest economy in the history of earth has been talked down to the point most folks think we're in hard times ? Without the power and influence of the media, the left would be driven to camps on the swamp, fearing retribution by the citizenry.
It is a bit premature to be calling states at this point. I don't think Hillary is a lock by any means. Her high negatives plus all of the Clinton scandals make her vulnerable. She is going to help the GOP turnout without a doubt.
I was not discussing the population at large, rather registered GOP voters and in the context of whether the MSM could use its influence to determine who the GOP nominee would be. I don't think they have that kind of influence and control upon the GOP base.
Point well taken.
>Nice way to throw in the towel
Nice way to avoid the facts.
Be smart. I’m voting for whomever runs against hillary. The electoral votes are there for a Clinton win, the polls be damned.
Face up to it and plan accordingly.
The electoral votes couldn’t have been much closer.
One state made the difference and you can’t cut it closer than that.
Bush did win a resounding popular vote. :)
Don't kid yourself...The America we 'knew' is already past...
We're going globalist...We're giving up America...Hillary AND Thompson will both take us there...
It's got to the point where Republican is as much as a dirty word as Democrat...
In my view, anyone who vill vote for one of the top four Republicans is a Democrat in Drag...
FNC is anti-Fred.
