The key, of course, is to get the exurbia population out to the polls.

OK Sergeant! Forgive my retro-vision, but I am still smarting from GW's loss in PA in 2004 (While Santorum won!) The crooked votes from Philly, Scranton, Pittsburgh, Wilkes-Barre, Chester, and Reading swept the state right out from under him.

Philly precincts with 98% reported voting? Or take New York State, where the "upstaters" talk a good conservative game, while usually forgetting to vote, letting the urban hordes of NYC carry the whole show.

Hey, I reckon you are right! But I can never forgive Karl and his "Mexicans are the Republicans of the Future."

My retro-oculitis is worse than I thought! Make I refer to the the election of 2000.

GW lost on a wave of ballots in which no other candidate was checked!

GW lost on a wave of ballots in which no other candidate was checked! Trying this thought again.

You’re right, of course. The key to winning elections is using the Wisconsin gambit. You hold back your biggest voting block until after the rat cities reveal their bogus counts.
