Not the sexy ones, the ones with big hips and qestionable looks, so they won't resist when they are inseminated.

Anytime an incumbent loses, it is usually his own damn fault.

Because he is alienating more than just a few people who consider themselves conservative (defined broadly). Particularly the fiscal and libertarian part of the coalition.

Fair enough.

I have no doubt that Bush will lose the popular vote (again)- but the distribution of parties in America makes it such that the electoral college is practically handed to the republicans on a silver platter.

What I want to know is this: Have you seen the polls in Wyoming? They're like... 74% for Bush.

Have they really done that WELL in the last 4 years?!? I think Wyoming has some secret economic superplan in place. *eyes narrow*

Yeah, it's called very low welfare rates.

Actually he is expected to win the popular vote, but the electoral vote is the question.

You really can't tell. It's going to be as close, or even closer than last the last election, depending on winning 1 or 2 states alone to a victory.

Well, let's do a little math.

We know how many votes Bush and Gore got last election. Bush was down about 500,000 votes or so and barely won. So we can deduce that he can't afford to get less votes than he did in 2000.

Now between then and now, do you think he lost more voters who voted for him in 2000, but won't in 2004, or that he gained voters who voted Gore in 2000(or were unable to vote)?

Me? I find it hard to believe he gained votes between 2000 and 2004. I also think Bush made a huge mistake of campaigning like an incumbet president. He simply doesn't have enough support to assume the 'patriotic fanbase' will sweep him into office.

I suspect Bush is going to be like his father in one more crucial way: He's going to be a one-term president. Pity we're not going to gain on the exchange. *bleah*

I agree, Bush has lost more of his base than he seems to think. Whether his other purported gains will make up the difference for him is the big question. Contrary to popular opinion, I predict a low total turnout this time, due to the people being less excited about their choices. The democrat's efforts to register voters may be the key. But another election fiasco is in our immediate future, I fear.
