37. Hard math for the Republicans

Wed Feb 26, 2014, 06:18 AM

Feb 2014

The Republican will have to hold Romney's states (NC will be the only one in real doubt) and also pick up FL, VA, OH, and one other (probably Wisconsin, Iowa, or Colorado). I frankly think Jeb Bush is the only Republican that could pull this off, and the curse of his name will be telling. He helped steal the state for his brother who will go down as the second worst president since at least Hoover.
