But, FL...OH...MI...PA... Those are big swing states and I don't see us winning without at least two of them, and then it will still be close.
florida is not generally a blue state. Clinton won without it in 1992.

Michigan has gone democratic in every election since 1992 and would easily be democratic this year. Clinton in 1996 beat Dole badly in Mich (52% to 39%), however he only won the white vote by 3%--losing white men 39% to 49% BUT winning white women 53% to 39%. What gave him the huge margin was the African American vote which he won 82% to 10%.

Hillary would suppress the black vote dramatically and the republicans are VERY likely to pull the black christian vote in michigan (they already have operatives on the ground here working on it).

Ohio was won for Bill Clinton by the Black vote in 1996 as I posted on another thread earlier.

PA was won by Bill Clinton in 1996 (50 to 40%) But again the he barely won the white vote (46% to 45%) and it was the african american vote that gave him the win (90% to 8%).

All of the swing states that keep being thought to be sooooo important are SWUNG by a voting block that Hillary and her staff and her supporters have spent every day of this campaign figuring out every way they could to insult and demean and diminish.

So----it you believe that 2 of the 4 states must be won then it would only make sense to vote for the candidate who is winning the voting block that has made the difference in swinging those states.


As for madam Insipids vapid statement Kentucky voted dem in '64, '76, '92, '96. She needs to learn to read. I don't see the loss of Kentucky as relevant at all in either the primary OR the general election.

Perhaps her life has a dearth of emotional fullfillment so she wastes her time and energy emoting over presidential candidates. That may be why she is retarded enough to think try to attach grade school feckless emotional import to everyone elses choices.

I will not support the Hillho---because she is a political whore. Because I have NO respect for her as a wife (if you call what she has a marriage), a mother, a lawyer, or a politician. Because I place a LOT of emphasis on truth and accuracy, originality and creativity. Because I don't believe this nation needs a hard core racist evangelistisic misogynist like the Hillho leading it. Because I think that her behavior has set women back about a century!

It's not a soap opera or a chick flick where one gets all emotionally invested in the outcome (well---it must be for Insipid---but that is just as insipid and vapid as calling oneself insipid is, imho).

BUT---if it makes the dizz cadet of the first magnitude feel better to hyperemote ---- have at it! That's why I put her on ignore---too many irrational posts---nothing to respect or waste time on.
