I have a 20 year old mic. It might work????
AP talks about Missouri:
That gives Gore 15 states plus the District of Columbia for 224 electoral votes -- 46 short of the 270 required for victory. If the election were held today, Bush would claim 21 states for 171 electoral votes.
Another 14 states and 143 electoral votes are toss ups. Analysts say Gore has momentum in a number of the most competitive states, including Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Washington.
The trend is striking in Missouri, a state with Bush leanings until recent weeks. Republicans and Democrats alike say the state, which traditionally votes for the winner, is on the verge of falling into Gore's column.
"He should focus on how Al Gore is way too left for Missouri, but they haven't done that effectively," said John Russell, the senior GOP senator in the Missouri legislature. "If the election were today, and I'm a Bush backer, it would be a tossup and Gore could win." |
