What states will Bush lose that he had last time?

[coloradodem2005]

Which ones will he win that he did not win last time?


I know that he is going to lose New Hampshire. But beyond that I have no clue.

[phillybri]

1. Ohio...

Count on it...

[coloradodem2005]

2. We will win Ohio?

Sure?

[Blue-Jay]

6. Yes we will.

I'm certain of it.

[coloradodem2005]

24. What about Pennsylvania?

Bush may have a slight edge there.

[bleedingheart]

32. He lost PA last time and he will lose again.,.. we are actively

working right now on behalf of Kerry!

[obnoxiousdrunk]

3. Louisiana

some hard work is needed. Big dog carried it twice.

[funkybutt]

34. GOD I HOPE SO!!

but this will be a hard state for Kerry to win.

I will say this: down here in New Orleans Kerry stickers outnumber bush stickers 10 to 1 (at least)

[IrateCitizen]

4. Ohio, Missouri, West Virginia, Texas.

OK, just kidding about Texas. ;-)

Possibly New Hampshire (I wouldn't put that as definite as you do).

I don't know if he won Nevada the last time out, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him lose there as well. He might also lose Arizona.

The key to the election isn't to just look at the nationwide polls, they're not quite so meaningful. The key is to look at how he's polling in crucial battleground states, and right now it ain't looking too good for him.

[KansDem]

7. If I recall correctly, W did take NV last time...

However, his decision since the election to put a nuclear waste dump there has put NV in the "iffy" column, according to some astute politicos...

[Just Me]

27. I would definitely agree on WV and OH!!! n/t

[Tim4319]

5. Florida

How ironic!

[maveric]

18. He lost in Florida. Remember?

After SCOTUS stopped the official counting, the unofficial counting showed a Gore win.

[lancdem]

8. Definitely New Hampshire

And hopefully West Virgnia, Ohio, Nevada and Florida (although with Jeb as guv I'm not holding my breath).

Longer shots would be Virginia, Arizona, Louisiana and Arkansas. Edwards as veep could help him in some of the southern states.

[markses]

9. LOSE, goddamit! LOSE...LOSE...LOSE

yaaaaaaargh.

Sorry. Loose and Lose is a major pet peeve and I've bottled it up for so long I just couldn't take it anymore. No offense.

[Blue-Jay]

10. Spelling nazis are loosers.

It's rediculous!

;)

(kidding, but I had to add my personal peeve)

[Yupster]

31. my pet peeve is people

who spell a lot as one word.

[eleny]

35. our and are aaaargh!

[Kukesa]

58. Your and You're n/t

[tandot]

13. Now you made me triple-check my post for spelling errors.

n/t

on edit: Or is it "now you've made me ..." or "now you did make me..."

DARN.

;-)

[ieoeja]

19. My pet peeve is when your talking about you're whatever. (n/t)

[tandot]

11. Texas

It never hurts to dream

But I have seen way more John Kerry bumper stickers than Bush-Cheney bumper stickers.

Besides that some "tough-guy" Texans might think that Bush is too wimpy for begging the UN & NATO to clean up his mess.

[WolverineDG]

46. texas

is quite possibly in play. but let's keep it a secret. ::shh::

dg

[0007]

51. Went to a big Democratic gathering the other night in Midland Texas

Looks like things are starting to happen here. It will be bigger next time.

[WolverineDG]

57. Midland really??

wow, it's looking better than i thought....my cousin in round rock is experiencing some serious cognitive dissonance.....can't still get him to admit kerry is better than bush, but with this new "torture is ok under US law" stuff, who knows?


but ::shh:: let's just keep it our little secret. ;)
dg

[zydeco]

12. Nevada

Mainly because of Yucca mountain and * poor fiscal responsibility.

[wuushew]

22. Is Yucca moutain going to be stopped by Kerry?

If people purely voted on issues then there would be no reason to vote against Bush(on this one issue). People are pissed off at the lie and the breech of trust by being told no waste at Yucca. However lies are just harmless words, if they truly cared about the issue they would vote Nader.

[zydeco]

26. Kerry has saiud no to Yucca

He doesn't feel a nuke waste dump should be built on a fault line.

[wuushew]

28. I agree with him...

but were is that waste going to go?

[zydeco]

30. No idea

Crawford would be my suggestion.

[LittleApple81]

14. I hope you mean lose not loose... that sounds like prying loose and we

don't want that.

[coloradodem2005]

16. I will fix my spelling.

[ieoeja]

20. Don't do that!

It's more enjoyable making fun.

[David Dunham]

15. Florida, Ohio, Nevada, New Hampshire, and West Virginia

[samhonk]

17. not Utah

the Republicans could run a soiled hanky for president and it'd win Utah's electoral votes. Doesn't stop me going to the polls, though, because I'd love to be wrong about that.

[Beetwasher]

21. Others Have Mentioned The Obvious One's, But I Say VA and CO

are definitely in serious play!!!

[coloradodem2005]

23. I hope so.

I would rather not have my state go red this time.

[ThomWV]

25. West Virginia

He will loose here.

[kentuck]

33. If he loses West Virginia...

He may come into Kentucky feeling real loose and lose also... :)

[onecitizen]

41. Yep he's going.........

DOWN here baby! WooHoo!

Now, we have to get Capito out of the House and our job will be done.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

29. New Hampshire, Nevada, West Viginia

Possibly North Carolina and Ohio.

[mrboba1]

36. NC?

Please please please!

Sometimes I hate my state. It was very disheartening to watch NC go into the Red column when I was in college during Clinton/Bush.

But as soon as the whole thing went to Clinton, our entire dorm erupted in cheering!

Ahh the good ol days!

[comsymp]

37. NC is quite likely to go to Kerry-

Latest Rasmussen poll has 'em within 4 points and Kerry hasn't even campaigned here (yet???).

Welcome to DU, and make a point of checking in on the NC thread in the State Forum!

[mrboba1]

38. Thanks!

Thanks! I'll go check it out...

[Nimble_Idea]

39. BS, NC is Solid Red

This KKK state aint going nowhere...

give it 10 years, then it will be competitive. That is, if the stupid whako people like (Matthews and Bill Maher) don't kill us all off first.

[comsymp]

43. Ohhhh, I remember you

IIRC, You, Mouse7 (or something like that) and I had an... interesting... exchange on your opinions of the Racist South a couple months ago. I think you're wrong.

And am totally lost re: Matthews and Bill Maher comment?

ON EDIT: You referenced "this state"- are you a local?

[TNMOM]

53. I agree NC will be blue

Lived there for seven years before moving to Wisconsin (which I hope we win, too). Anyways, I was on the horn yesterday with a pal of mine who is active in politics there. He says Erskine is ahead of Burr in the polls and Kerry will carry the state. Honestly, when I lived there, I thought as you - that the state of Jesse Helms can't possibly catch up with the rest of progressive America. But I'll be damned, we elected Easley (Democrat) to Governor and it looks like North Carolians will elect Erskine Bowles to the senate. ...if Edwards is on the ticket, Kerry will definitely pick up N.C.

[comsymp]

55. NC to Wisconsin... must've been a helluva culture shock

I honestly believe that Edwards will be the key, though, in NC. Easley and Erskine are solid candidates but not the type to stir up much excitement. The deciding factor, IMO, will be Dem turnout. I think Edwards would guarantee that. Hopefully, that idiot Burr will scare enough folks to help motivate the Dem/Indy bases.

Personally, I've always defended NC's progressive bona fides. Jesse notwithstanding, we've generally had a good Gov (Hunt was particularly good w/education) and SOME good Congressional representation. Price, Watt and the sorely missed Clayton are/were smart, fairly progressive folks. A couple of the other Dems have pretty fair records. Taking into account the fact that we went for Carter in '76, like you, I don't agree with the conventional wisdom that we're a writeoff.

[kaitykaity]

40. Arkansas and Oklahoma.

If Wes Clark is the VP.

[coloradodem2005]

45. Arkansas is a definite possibility.

I cannot see Oklahoma ever going blue.

[kaitykaity]

47. They elected a Dem governor this

last time. That's why I think they'd go for a
Kerry/Clark pairing.

[coloradodem2005]

49. Yeah maybe.

Would be nice but Oklahoma is not a state to count on. I think that Bush is way ahead of Kerry there. Though I really think that Kerry should pick Clark.

[kaitykaity]

50. Yeah, Kerry picking Clark as VP would make me

very happy also. (Also I picked Oklahoma because Clark won
that primary.)

[trackfan]

42. NV, AZ, AR, FL, WV, OH, NH n/t

[hatrack]

44. Ohio, West Virginia, New Hampshire, Nevada

Missouri's presidential streak will, sadly, come to an end. But it won't matter!!!!

[napi21]

48. West Virginia! I can't believe he won in 2000, but it won't happen

again!!!

[hippiegranny]

52. Arizona, I hope

we seem to be swinging more to the left recently. We have a fantastic Dem Governor, Janet Napolitano.

[West Coast Democrat]

54. He'll lose OH, NH, FL (no recount needed), AR, WV, NV, MO.....

possibly AZ, LA, TN, NC, VA

[Darranar]

56. Ohio, perhaps. n/t

[arwalden]

59. Ohio, Florida, Texas, Utah

[gasperc]

60. all of them, that's from "me to the government"

:mad:
