Yeah, if you're stuck with a bunch of people who think that Rush is Right and who only elect people with an (R) behind their name, then it's an uphill climb.

She doesn't have to win IN to win the White House. ;-)

Martin Longman at WaMo:

Just as a thought experiment, if Nevada is safe for the Democrats, then the following is the bare minimum way that the Republicans can win the White House. If they hold all Romney’s states and also win Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Iowa, that gets them to a 269-269 tie, and the Republican-controlled House of Representatives could potentially decide the election in the GOP nominee’s favor. Things would be a little more solid if the GOP could flip Colorado, New Hampshire or, especially, Virginia.

One thing to consider, too, is the importance of Florida. If the Democrats hold Florida in the above scenario, they win 298-240. Let me paint this as clearly as possible.

If the Republicans hold Romney states and cannot flip Florida, the Democrats can lose Virginia, New Hampshire, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Colorado and still win 272-266.

In that kind of scenario, the Republicans would have to find one more state. New Mexico would suffice, but that won’t happen if the Republicans can’t fix their image with Latinos in a big hurry. The next most obvious opportunities would Pennsylvania and Michigan.

But, you get the idea. The Republicans absolutely have to win Florida. And to win Florida, they’ll have a little steeper climb than they had the last two times around.


That's why they're desperate to have JEB? or Rubio win. Of course, both are hated in Florida, so it's not clear that either one of them will help. But seemingly nobody else will, either.

Your cynicism (at least in the stuff you post here) is a bit of a downer. Cheer up. :-) Watch a few more of her videos. You might come to like her and convince your friends, also too.

:-D

Cheers,
Scott.
