A Rove tactic Kerry must not fall for

[ButterflyBlood]

in 2000 * never had a snowball's chance in hell of winning California, but so many media whores and campaign advisors kept saying that they were sure he had a chance, citing the few poll results showing that he might be in striking distance. near the end Gore actually spent some time in California, diverting resources from Ohio (which he conceded a month before the election but still lost by only a small margin) West Virginia, New Hampshire and Florida. The dumbasses are trying it again this time talking about how * can win California and New York even though there isn't a single sign that he does. I don't want Kerry spending resources in New York when every poll shows * 20 points behind because Rove keeps insisting * can win it.

4. Arnold better get busy

Bush lost CA by 1.3 million votes in 2000.

5. let's do some math

Katherine Harris eliminated about 70k voters. There's about 16 million people in Florida. That equals a little more than 4 tenths of a percent. California has 34.5 million people, so doing the same would eliminate about 150k voters, which isn only a little more than 10% of what * lost California by in 2000. Also unlike in Florida, the Democrats have the Secretary of State office, which is the main office for controlling voter rolls.
