Yes, definitely. I have seen some statistics from a Swedish group mail-thingy I was on last year, and during the last month before election day the number of messages went sky-high.
It's gonna be a fun ride.

How do you think replies on this thread will trend after the election?

Considering the fact that we're plitical junkies? It will remain high after the election to discuss the aftermath, the recounts, etc. and then it will go down around the time of New Year. Then as new elections approaches it will start going up again. But with no major US elections in 2005 there will be less activity that year.

It would be the logical thing to do,  to kind of archive the thread.

Bush v. Kerry

Bush gets 387 over Kerry's 151.  Just my prediction.

That is really rough on the guy. I think he wouldn't do that bad. Why would he lose CAlifornia but win Michigan?

Kerry would win california and Pennsylvania, but lose Michigan and wisconsin.  He might take maine also.

I think Kerry actually might be a weaker candidate than Dean.

Dean would raise attendance; many ABB people would turn out that wouldn't if it was Kerry or Clark or Edwards.

I think the most electable is Edwards; he might lose Oregon and Iowa but he would win Louisiana, Tennesse, and bring Arkansas, WV and Florida into play.

BTW, I agree with Miami. Kerry would still win CA, and I'd say Pennsylvania would be his too. I don't think he'd lose Michigan, but he might lose Wisconsin, and he'd win Maine.

Yeah, all the Bush states that are large geographically are small population wise.

Thank you.  Tell god that I made a nice map, alright?

It is not a sure thing that Kerry would win Washington.

OK, maybe not surely.

But he'd have a better chance at it then Bush, imo.

I think Bush would take it becuase Kerry wouldn't energize the urban liberal base in Seattle, which is the state's lone Democratic stronghold.

What does imo mean?

I think its "in my opinion"

And it'd take a pretty crappy campaign to lose Washington. . .imo

yes, in my opinion.

imho means the same, with "humble" added.

I agree with of_this; Kerry would have to screw up to lose Washington, it has high turnouts.

Of course, Dukakis was able to carry Washington.  I guess if I had to guess I'd say Kerry would probably have the edge.  It's only a guess as a have a VERY superficial knowledge of Wahington state politics.

I don't know all that much about Washington state either, but I do know the only liberal area is the greater Seattle area, as you go further west in the less populted areas it becomes more conservative.

That's the case everywhere isn't it?

Basically the coastal parts of Washington vote Democrat while the interior votes GOP.
There are exceptions: Thomas Foley represented the area around Spokane (eastern Washington) for a long time until he went down in 1994.

Does Spokane vote democratic?  I don't know exactly where Spokane is located so the county maps don't help me out.
