Can Bush win California and Illinois?

[MODU]

I've always said that my fantasy election day surprise would be California going for Bush.  He lost to Gore by 1.3M votes (or 12%).  This was pre-Arnold, pre-9/11, and at the start of the state-wide energy crisis.  

Davis is now gone, replaced by pop-culture figure Arnold (who has done a much better job than anyone expected, and is currently carring a 60% approval rating - and is a Republican by title), 9/11 (like it or not, but this still ads a small boost to Bush), and the energy crisis is ended, with the companies involved settling with the state in various court cases.  

Now, none of this will just give California over to Bush, but to eliminate the possibility of Bush gaining 7 points from last year is narrow-sighted.  There is always a chance.  Slim, but a chance none the less.

Maybe you should.  You might just be happier in life.  hahaha

All candidates deserve the right to partake in all aspects of the election, and not blocked.  Nader, for how much of a pain in the butt he can be, deserves fair and equal access to the election, just like any other 3rd party/Independent candidate.

That just shows the maturity of the extreme left-side (the fact that you admit to reading DU scares me).  After all, it was the Democrats impeding Naders Constitutional right to collect signatures just a month ago.  It's a sign of ugliness and down right panic within your party.  Maybe losing to Bush this year will send a clear signal through your party that it's time for a revamp.  The only thing holding the various Democratic factions together right now is the Anti-Bush push and not your candidate.

It's a Constitutional right to challenge those signatures in court too.

Challenge signatures, yes, but not to, say, fill a room set aside as a campaigning/signature gathering event for Nader with DNC operatives to ensure that he doesn't get the signatures he expected is dirty and infringes upon his right to Campaign fairly.  Just one of many dirty tricks pulled this election year against Nader by the DNC.
