Opebo, You first map is NOT realistic at all. As I said Kerry was MUCH better than Edwards and Sanford better than Bush. So that map would never happen.
Honestly I don't see how any other Southern Right-wing Relgious can be 'better than Bush'. Bush had the 9/11/knee-jerk patriotism/warmongering thing going for him, and I don't see that lasting forever. I think there will be very significant theocrat fatigue by 2008.
Bush also had alot of stuff that could be used aginst him, Like Iraq, His Speaking Style, His IQ.........
