Bush a Frequent Flyer to States That Could Decide 2004 Race

WASHINGTON (AP) - If you live in Pennsylvania or Florida, your chances of catching a glimpse of President Bush are pretty good. Missouri, Ohio or Michigan, too. He's been to each more than ten times as president, and he's sure to be back again soon.

Though Bush says he's not yet campaigning for re-election, he's beating a well-worn path through a handful of states likely to be presidential battlegrounds next year.

But if you live in states he carried overwhelmingly in 2000 - or lost by a similarly large margin - don't expect to see Air Force One anytime soon, unless it's 30,000 feet up.

Bush has yet to visit Rhode Island, Vermont or Hawaii, for instance, states where Democrat Al Gore won handily in 2000. Nor has he been to Idaho or Kansas, states he carried comfortably. (snip/...)

1. Wonder where the GOP ever got this idea

"He has visited California eight times. Gore won the state decisively in 2000, but GOP strategists think it could be competitive in 2004, with its huge prize of 55 electoral votes."

2. The Repubs Will Use "Total Recall"

to "recall" all of our Democratic votes and steal the election.

3. Dem recall, GOP redistricting....coming to a state where you live soon

Homeland Security will be on call to round up those that attempt to resist, or assume a position which might be considered "terroristic."

4. That's just the marketing campaign

The Republican usefulness of California is that it has lots of rich people who hate having lost power to the common people, and so very willing to give them lots of money.

They're going to run a token campaign, and that mostly so they don't get embarrassed by some massive vote deficit they might not make up with the many 5% margins of victory they get in the South.

6. Ummm I think they consider CA competitive

because they can steal it in 2004 with the Governor Office they are trying to steal right now through the recall ...

Hotel rooms / meals /spending money --- for all of the assorted lackeys who follow him around.
