Reply #10: Florida is not unattainable . . .

. . . it just isn't worth the effort of neglecting the mentioned key states. Most of the polls indicate New Hampshire is or will shortly be moving into the safe column. WV and/or NV will guarantee a tie. Any one of the other states (including WV AND NV) will guarantee a win.

I don't think it is that hard given both the changing demographics and a hard four year dose of reality. Nobody I know is voting for Bush, even though some of them did last time around.

Kerry's saving grace is not that he is a good campaigner or even a good candidate, it is that he isn't Bush. As noted elsewhere on this thread, he needs to move past Vietnam, stop worrying about a handful of votes that Nader could be siphoning off and start concentrating on his real opponent. If he doesn't, he'll be grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory.
