It's the battlegrounds, stupid

If TX gets cherry Red and NY gets midnight blue so what.

Kerry will win OHIO, FLA, and WI, PA, and I'm calling AZ . . .yes AZ for KERRY (and maybe even AR!!!). and NC!!!

Get out there in those states and make it happen!!! WE WIN!

edit to add: NC

1. VA and AR are ripe for cherry picking

The way Shrub et al. cherry picked TN in 00. All Kerry has to do is have a couple of rallys there in the closing days... one in the Tidewater, one in Northern VA and one in Little Rock. Both states could go blue and give him the surprise push he needs.

2. If Kerry came to Tidewater

I'd be there in a heartbeat! I'm in Norfolk and I can tell you the Kerry signs outweigh the Bush signs.

3. Looking at the map

Go out to electoral-vote.com. They show that VA and AR are the States that Bush has that are the closest to flipping. Also, by taking at least 2 southern states (plus FL, which isn't REALLY southern) it would add much more legitimacy to his win.
