Will there ever be a Democratic landslide again?

He can call himself a Democrat all he wants, but what reason is there for him to be one? There is none, the same way there's no reason for me to call myself a Republican.

I say that anyone I wouldn't vote for is not a Democrat.

There is no condition in existance where I would vote for Zell Miller. I'd even vote for someone like Rick Santorum over him, since at least ultra-right wing Republicans have enough brain cells to realize what party they belong in.

No, because Democrats can't win the rural west.

But of course Democrats can win pretty big, Clinton did in '96.

wow, a fairly reasonable and not rididculously partisan biased post from you! I'm impressed!

Now if Democrats were as stupid as most Republicans, we probably would argue here "someone like Ben Nelson or even John Breaux could possibly win those way out west states". But since Democrats realize such a person could never win the nomination, unlike deluded Republicans who honestly think the Religious Right would let Guiliani be nominated. And no, I'm not referring to you in the second part.

Where Democrats carry something like 44 states?

If the 2000 percentages are any frame of reference, for the Dems to win 44 states, the map would look like this...



I suppose it's possible, but very difficult (winning over 50% in Kans., Okla., S.D., etc.)

that's actually pretty close to my best ever President Forever game. I was Clinton in 1996, and won 46 states + DC over Dole. Dole only took Kansas, Idaho, Utah and Alaska.
