Kerry is gonna throw some money on the South and the Mountains....watch out bush....Kerry is going for it all.
Kerry is gonna win in a landslide....Bush has set himself up for the Biggest embarassment of a lifetime folks...
"I have just begun to fight" --John Kerry
"I think it backfires," McCain said of Miller's rhetorical assault on Kerry. He added that it "makes Buchanan's speech look milquetoast."
The Midwest is comprised of 12 states and 124 Electoral College votes. It’s the second biggest chunk, only the South is bigger. The Midwest is probably the most diverse section of the country. From conservative Indiana to liberal Illinois, the Midwest is more culturally diverse than any other part of the nation. Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas being the most rural are the most conservative. Its states like these that gave Bush his overwhelming land mass, but together these states 17 electoral votes right on par with Michigan as state which has gone Democrat since 1992. One thing is for certain, the Democrats must make a swing through all of the Midwest, not just the sought after for “soccer mom” states like Wisconsin and Minnesota, which are not swing states this year!

Case #1: Popular Vote Means Nothing
The electoral vote count is going to be quite difficult to
predict this year. Some are calling for a landslide in Kerry or Bush’s favor, or
too close to call. I’m believe that is might be somewhere in between. Let post a
sliver of the most recent Fox News Poll and the glaringly obvious reason why the
“national race”; the popular vote is too close to call. Half of America trusts
Bush more on fighting the war on terror, and the other half believe that John
Kerry would do more for the job and pay situation for the average worker. The
question is are there more people who fear terrorism, or are there more people
who want better jobs, that’s what this electoral projecting is all about.

The Rightwing Strategy
Surmising the contemporary trend in the Presidential political landscape, we now understand clearly the undercurrent now facing us. Since Ronald Reagan, Democrats have had a difficult time claiming what some call the ;vital center; of American politics. America politically has gone right, but America demographically, socially, and for the most part publicly has liberalized. For instance our customs and manners have become more relaxed, Fortune 500 have moderated dress code rules, it is a given that if the President doesn’t wear jeans he is not one of us. But the political situation is more conservative than ever. Conservative Republicans, mostly from the Deep South, now control the Legislative and the Executive branch, including a favorable Supreme Court. This band of radicals has taken over the conversation and set the terms of the issues on their own turf. This is why Bill Clinton was the only Democratic President since Franklin Roosevelt to be elected twice, and in Clinton’s case could never muster an absolute majority. The nation is now split so terribly between the South and the North as evidenced in the 2000 election, that even if the Democratic candidate wins the popular vote it does not guarantee Electoral College majority or one Southern state even if it is his home state.
