Bush II, who will win re-election with 52% or more in 2004.
Consider this from this morning's P-I
"Bush confronts the reality of 21 states with 260 electoral votes among them (you need 270 to win the White House) that have all voted for the Democratics presidential nominee in the last three elections.
They are California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia."
"To build a winning coalition, Bush must be able to carry key suburban counties in crucial states.".."Otherwise, you are trying to win 270 electoral votes out of an available pool of 290." |
