In the 2000 election Gore lost his home state of Tennessee. Tell me the last time a "FAVORITE SON" lost his home state. Also in that same 2000 election, West-by-God Virginia went Republican and that hasn't happened in a very long time. Like 80+ years. So don't tell us that these things are impossible or even unlikely. Todays volatile electorate makes every national election an adventure into the unknown. As I said in my other post, I remember the Reagan landslide in 1980. About this time in the process, Carter was ahead by 30 points! And what happened on election day? Hmmmmmmmm?

I get all that... but we don't have a Reagan now, and today's America bears little resemblance to the one that elected him in 1980.
