Idea

[The Mikado]

But if this board is locked, where will the discussions of whether Massachusetts and Oklahoma are in play take place?

[The Mikado]

This board has degenerated into name-calling and flame wars. There are three types here; leftist Clinton/McCainiacs, rightist Clinton/McCainiacs, and us. No group will convince the other.

Therefre, I propose that this board be moved to the Election Archives and locked.

Who is this "us" character?  Is that like "us vs. them"?  Sounds a lot like Bush-talk, if you ask me.

Don't you see? Bush-talk wins elections!

But loses the popular vote.

Jokes aside, there's a serious point being made.

And, jokes aside, wherever are we going to discuss whether Massachusetts and Oklahoma are swing states?  Or whether North Dakota is swinging Obama or Oregon to McCain?  Or whether HRC's become the new George Wallace?

PS, muon...all the dozen others?  What about, say, 1996?  Did anyone at the time feel that race was important?
