Bush 51/43 in Florida - 56% Approval Rating - Mason-Dixon

As bad news as the Mason Dixon Florida poll is for Kerry, Michigan Survey USA poll showing Kerry up 51 - 41 has got to lift the spirits of the Kerry faithful.  I expected Michigan to have Kerry up 3 to 5 pts.

We are truly two nations.  Culturally, Socially, politically.  Red and blue states might as well be two separate countries.

Divide the country right down the middle.  We will take the South.  Libs can take the North.  Two governments each with differing governing philosophies.  If you support partial birth abortion, gay marriage, racial quotas, outlawing the death penalty, higher taxes, and turning over defense to the UN, feel free to move north.  You'll be happy and so will we.

As it stands now it's winner take all.  One side or the other will wake up the morning after the election vomiting their guts out.

Population density is for sure one factor, but only one.

[agcatter]

No doubt there is.  We see it in even conservative Texas.  Republicans run 15 to 18 pts ahead of their percentages in Houston and Dallas.  However, in the surrounding counties like Montgomery and Collin counties which are extremely dense in population, John Cornyn in his Senate victory garnered 72 - 75% of the vote.  This indicates race might be an even bigger factor.

By all means Bush should step down and be inaugurated in the new Southern capital of Richmond.  Swear in Kerry, Dean, or anyone you want.  Both sides will be joyful.  As it is one side or the other is going to want to get the hell out of the country.

"SLIGHTLY different views"

Hahahah.  Yeah, I'd say half of us have "slightly different views" from say the John Kerrys and Howard Deans.

[agcatter]

Got ya.  i think there is 40% on each side that disagree ferociously.  The scary thing is that the remaining 20% that decide the election could care less.  They are more interested in watching Fear Factor.  God help us all.

51`- 47 - 2 is my prediction for Florida.

[agcatter]

No.  It's anything but crap.  There is a social and cultural deep divide in this country that doesn't exist in Britain.  Polls consistantly show smaller numbers of swing voters.  Positions are hard on both sides.
