2. Boortz is the moron who promoted that "red state"
and pointed out that Bush won "a majority of counties."

I pointed out to more than one crowing wingnut that those counties were all dirt, and dirt don't vote unless it's sitting on the USSC.

I was not received kindly.

4. This is why we need Clark or Edwards for VP

We could take the South in a walk--but splitting it would be more than enough.

5. Take the south in a walk?
Ridiculous. Clinton only won 5 southern states with him and Gore on the ticket. Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee twice, Florida and Georgia once. We won't win Georgia no matter what. Tennessee and Louisiana are also very iffy at best. That leaves Florida and Arkansas. Not much of a split.

8. Well, don't be so pessimistic about Georgia.
I live in Georgia and there are many who say that when a Republican is in office, the jobs go down the drain.

6. Edwards always has good stuff on his website
Not only are his policy proposals very detailed and all, he also has the coolest interactive graphics - remember his electoral map from the primaries? Edwards should give his web designer a raise.
