than the other side, right? Just checking. Someone asked me that, and I said yes, then I started thinking ...well, actually, I'm not sure. Does anyone know for sure?

1. Correct

[olddem43]

2. There are a total of 538 possible and it takes 270 to win.

3. possible 269-269 tied scenario

Kerry takes all the Gore states plus NH and WV. Bush takes all the rest. Result = 269-269 tie throwing it into the House of Representatives to select the President.

4. Have to get 270 to win

Else it goes to the House.

But who cares, I want a landslide, I want Bush utterly humiliated and broken and defeated and crying like a baby on Nov. 3rd.

5. You are so right on! Ba bye Bush Die-Nasty!

I, too want him to lose by a landslide and utterly humiliated and broken and defeated and crying like a baby on Barbara Bush's shoulder with 41 standing there patting him on the back!!!!! Take that Bush Die-nasty!

6. Yes, a landslide!

I am (temporarily) in TX. Though I live in a Dem area (highly Hispanic), I know the state usually goes "red" (republican).

It will be SO SWEEEEEET to see TX "go blue" this year.

Kerry should target TX , if at all possible.
Who cares if this is Bush's adopted "home"?

This state is HUGE!
We don't all think alike, and dubya better not count on TX this year.

7. You can't be serious

Kerry would be better off focussing his advertising on the moon than Texas.
