I read it and I think it is stupid.  Florida, Ohio are not a Blue Blocked state by any means.... 

....VA & CO are both not lock ins for the dems...I think it is asinine for this bozo to say it is mathematically impossible.

But, go ahead and think that. ;)

That just goes to show me one of two things.  Either,

1.  You clearly didn't read it, or
2.  You can't comprehend what you read. 

The guy never claimed that those states that you mention above were behind the blue wall.  Here's the map from that very article to prove it.  :rolleyes:

  Is everyone ready for Jebfro Bush to run for office.  It just what we need, another Bush in the White house. :puke:

Troll, one thing that's going to probably do, if he ends up being the nominee, is to flip Florida red for the next presidential election.  He was generally viewed favorably in his eight years as governor here, so he would probably carry Florida.  That said, I don't think the rest of America is ready for another Bush in the White House, so he may not fare so well in those other states that HH so grossly misinterpreted on the previous post.  :rolleyes:

My post is spot on.

No, it's not.  You claimed that the guy said that the states you mentioned were part of the blue wall to which he was referring.  That map clearly indicates that they were not included; thus, the electoral votes that those states represent weren't included automatically for the Democrats in his calculations to reach 270.  Seriously, how can you not see that?

Yes it is, I will explain my thoughts tomorrow... I am on a iPad and don't like typing on this.

This is typical of most conservatives.  Here we have a dyed-in-the-wool Republican with an undergraduate degree from a prestigious university in Texas and a law degree who has worked on numerous state and local campaigns while living in his home state and is currently a Republican precinct committeeman providing a reasoned and factually-based explanation of why his parties strategies are failing on one side and an uneducated neocon whose only participation in the political arena is being an armchair keyboard wanna-be expert on internet forums on the other calling the former stupid.  Somewhat understandable considering the respondent in this case is one of the aging white rural voters on whom the author squarely (and accurately) rests the demise of his party.

We don't even know for sure who is going to run yet so how can anyone give anything but an opinion?  Just because one comes with charts and graphs doesn't make it correct it just makes it an opinion with charts and graphs which you "educated" idiots take as gospel.  Not to mention they happen to agree with your way of thinking which makes you lean toward wanting to believe it anyway.  If the dems run that one idiot woman who tried to pass herself off as a Native American they may as well hang it up.

More drivel from yet another uneducated aging white rural voter who doesn't get it.  :rolleyes:

Okay, perhaps I stated it out of order...WI & MI are two states that ARE, in this guys opinion, that are blue blocked.  WI has a Gov, that won three elections in four years.  He is a likely GOP candidate for POTUS. The Republican Party controls four of the five statewide offices and holds a majority in both the Wisconsin Senate and Wisconsin State Assembly. Republicans also hold one of the state's U.S. Senate seats and five of the state's 8 U.S. House of Representatives seats.

Michigan Senate has a Republican super majority of 26-12.....the house has a Republican majority of 59-50-1.  The Gov is a popular GOP...

I have ran out of time, I will continue to build on why I think this guy is a bozo....

I can summarize it for you...because you have deluded yourself into believing that you are the smartest man on the planet while your actual intelligence and understanding is average at best.   :rolleyes:
