Bush's popularity by state in "Red/Blue" format.

[Spiffarino]

SurveyUSA puts it into stunning perspective by using the "red-blue" standard from the past few presidential elections:



If you're a Republican running for office, you'd better start thinking long and hard about drinking any more of the Kool-Aid. Unless your Chimperor can pull off a new "turriss" attack, you clowns are toast in '06.

[Erika]

1. Americans are waking up n/t

[wli]

2. Now we need to pin down the rest of the red states.

The complete and utter annihilation of the rethuglican mafia is the only possible solution. There is no room for "compromise" or "amnesty."

The entire Republican Party must be arrested and put on trial in the Hague.

[electropop]

24. I'm not sure the Hague is good enough for them.

Perhaps an extended vacation at Sandals' Gitmo Beach Resort?

[AspenRose]

3. Now that's what I'm talking about

Funny, I don't see ANY purple in there. Pretty cut and dried.

[Qanisqineq]

4. .

and some of those red states are only approving of Bush by a percentage point or two and some of those blue states only disapprove of him by a percentage point or two.

[fighttheevilempire]

5. the state-by-state breakdown is even more telling...

that's done by approval ratings. In 35 of the 50 states, his Disapproval rating is 50% or greater - that to me shows there isnt much sitting on the fence. People have about had enough of him. Even in Georgia, Colorado, Kansas, Arizona, South Carolina, Virginia... most of the people disapprove of him. Looking good for 2006!

And personal gratification for me, Rick Santorum is 99th of 100 for approval ratings in the Senate. Bye, Bye Virginian! Take your kids and move out - oh wait, you already did!

[NYC]

7. Who is 100th?

?

[fighttheevilempire]

15. Junior Senator Mel Martinez (R), FL

[Spiffarino]

39. Another Republican?

SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE!

[Mnemosyne]

42. Ah, personal gratification!

scumtorum 99th!!!:puke: :evilgrin: :bounce: :woohoo: :applause:

Thank you for this! and since I haven't seen you before, welcome to DU ftee!:toast:
V

[fighttheevilempire]

46. Thanks

fellow PA'er I take it? going to DC the 24th of Sept? I cant wait for it. Almost as much as I cant wait for the 2006 elections.

[Mnemosyne]

48. I'm planning on going to DC, but I'm getting a bit

worried over whether gas will be available for the trip. It's not looking good at this point.

I live to see scumtorum out of office! NW Pa. is a mess thanks to scumtorum and English. I will do everything I can to see them fired, though would prefer to see them in prison.

Hope to see you in DC!

I laugh everytime spell check tries to replace scumtorum with santorum, even it knows scum when it reads it! lol

[ngGale]

6. He's toast in my southern state...

now we are getting somewhere. Except for Diebold! Arghhh!

[Spiffarino]

12. I'm in NC and even the pro-lifers are getting sick of him

One of my friends is a fundie and says Bush has totally abandoned them. Quote: "He's been a big disappointment. All he does is talk."

[BlueIris]

44. Yikes. The anti-choice still love him where I live.

Maybe we can exchange populations?

[inchhigh]

8. WHA???

There are still seven states where more tha half of the population support him?!?!?

How can that be?? What's up with those people??

[baldguy]

11. I'm sure Alabama will flip after this week.

[phatkatt]

36. I live in Alabama

Video of Bush and Osama planning 911 together is about the only thing that would drop his rating below 50% around here. Of course, that is IF they bother to notice.

[Hippo_Tron]

43. Mississippi dropped, Alabama will too

[obreaslan]

9. And here we are 10 months after his reelection.....

Tell me again how people think the 2004 election wasn't stolen!!!! :grr::nuke:

[fujiyama]

10. Stupid fuckin people

now coming to their senses?

Better late than never I know, but still...it hasn't even been the first year of his second term and feels as disasterous as his first four years!

[blondeatlast]

13. I was shocked when he dipped below 50% here in AZ.

AZ has a real chance to overcome Maricopa Cty and go blue in '06, as our Rep critters are almost universally Bushbots.

[blondeatlast]

14. we need to tie every Republican vying for office, incumbent or not,

as absolutely closely to Bush as possible. Photo-ops, fundraiser appearances, dinner invites--whatever.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

29. Rubber Stamp! Rubber Stamp

Every democrat running in '06 needs to call his opponent a rubber stamp for W, every one of them.

Every one of them needs to run ads tying the cong/senator to W and pound that message home, just like the pugs did in '94 when Clinton was at his lowest in the polls.

[blondeatlast]

38. Exactly. We need to start calling the Rs in our states that NOW,

whether we have announced opposition yet or not.

[Imagevision]

16. People! your losing faith in paperless Diebold machines - 2006 they

will be working double-time! you can paint that map solid BLUE and they'll do it again -- they've already done it twice so they know how you'll respond.
(summary) without election reform we have no chance of winning!

PS. And after Babs Bush claims she's inherited another president (In Clinton) I wouldn't put much stock in Hillary.

http://downingstreetmemo.com/

[Spiffarino]

40. Hillary's out for me

I'm thinking Feingold's the one. I prefer unterrified Democrats who say and do what they believe in.

[Totally Committed]

17. Finally...

America is almost the color it should be!

(My guess is Louisiana will be blue when they check back in a week or so. But, that's just a guess...)

TC

[tk2kewl]

18. I'm glad to see Montana is finally getting it.

and i suspect if you check again next week we can put Louisiana into the blue category. :(

[RedEarth]

21. Louisana is blue in this map......

[tk2kewl]

22. sorry... Mississippi

[racaulk]

25. Mississippi is blue too...

Are you talking about Alabama?

[tk2kewl]

28. indeed

:hides head in shame:

[Arkansas Granny]

19. Isn't blue a pretty color? Matches my eyes, too!

[txaslftist]

20. Sadly, Texas won't flip.

GWB could murder Jesus and they'd just say, "Well, he was a longhair, wasn't he?"

[Ishoutandscream2]

23. Yes, you're so right

My suburb of Dallas still has SUV's in great multitudes sporting W stickers. It hasn't changed, and never will.

[txaslftist]

27. Well, I'd never say never. But its gonna take decades. n/t

[vickitulsa]

31. Doesn't it just make ya crazy?

I lived in Big D from '94 to '97, and after those three years (which saw the ushering in of W to the governor's mansion) it was almost like reaching a LIBERAL state to return to Oklahoma!

Not quite, but almost.

Ya know, I think mebbe W's crew may have mastered election-stealing way back then, come to think of it. I mean, everyone was stunned when he "beat" Ann Richards for governor, weren't they?

Hmmm......

I remember a bumper sticker on a monster pickup parked in the lot at my apartment in Dallas:

"SO LITTLE TIME, SO MANY PEDESTRIANS!"

Wonder if any of the colors on that map really WILL change after the way Deaf-and-Dumbya's handled this catastrophe called Katrina?? He puts Nero to shame.

Gonna be a reeeeelly scary night tonight in The Big Easy......

[Karmageddon]

26. Only 10 months too late

To all the people who voted for the idiot-boy and are now having buyer's remorse.....
Fuck you.
Hard.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

30. The 2004 election was stolen.

An honest map would have Florida, Iowa, Ohio and New Mexico blue and Kerry in the White House.

[Spiffarino]

41. .

Any doubt should be removed at the sight of this map. Their dirty tricks and dirty voting machines are destroying this country. They have to be stopped in '06 or it's all over.

[Wheezy]

32. A blue Arizona

never looked so GOOD! Woo hoo!

[UrbScotty]

34. And Alaska, and South Dakota, and Oklahoma... (nt)

[UrbScotty]

33. That's 63 electoral votes, people. (nt)

[Pacifist Patriot]

35. Now what does the map look like after Diebold counts the votes?

[Autonomy]

37. What about "As North Dakota goes, so goes the nation"?

Just kidding. Mississippi and Kansas are blue now? Holy crap. Talk about a mandate to impeach!

[Blue_In_AK]

45. I can't tell you how heartened I am

to see Alaska in the "blue."

[npincus]

47. from your lips to G-d's ears
