20. The real threat in 2012 Dain

Tue Jun 25, 2013, 01:05 PM

Jun 2013

Was in PA. Remember the voter ID fiasco? How quickly they shoved it through and so close to the election. And its large impact on MOSTLY minority Philadelphia?

I'm not worried about Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, etc. etc. We had a better chance of meeting God sometime in the next five minutes than we do of seeing those go blue in 2016 or 2020.

But PA - the 'battle ground' and 'swing' state - this going to hurt.
