Btw, shouldn't tossups always be equally distributed between the parties? I notice a lot of people mark states as tossups on their confidence maps, and then hand all or most of them to one party in the prediction map. That isn't really intelectually honest, is it?  
Tossups should not sbe equally distributed between the parties.  If the popular vote of the rest of the nation is 60-40%, why would you give 50% of hte tossups to each side?  Distribute the tossups like this:

If there are 250 Dem Ev's and 200 Republican Ev's, give 20% more of the remaining states to the Dems.

Please tell me if this is heard to understand.

I suspect that our friend from across the pond continues to underestimate the cultural and social conservative nature of the South and it's effect on southern voting patterns for one very understandable reason.  He has never been exposed to anything like that kind of conservativism in Britain and can't begin to identify with it.  This is understandable.  I doubt anything like it even exists among the tories.  There's nothing like it in Great Britain and it's hard to give a lot of credense to something you can't identify with.
I don't think he has.

So southern whites who vote for Bush are voting for a race- baiter and gay-basher?  Oh brother.....
I don't understand where you got that statement from.

I did.  He said that there are race-baiters and gay-bashers in the UK also.

Every forum has an incredibly long thread, and this is ours!  Yay!

Does anyone here remember Democrat/Republican?
I have read many of his posts.  He was playing around, he wasn't being serious.  but why did Leip let him post?  He was obviously a troll, delete his account.

I know that---

But you registered on July 2, 2003, and by that time Democrat's threads were buried.

I read a number of his old posts, but who cares?
So wouldn't it be inaccurate to say you remember him?

No, I read his some of his old posts on the old forum.  Not all were buried.

Get a life.
No reason to make harsh remarks, which is always what you seem to do.

I don't believe it! You had a really good chance to build a pyramid there, but oh, no, you decided not to quote each other! *Sigh*

Btw, Realpolitik seem to take for granted that Mr_president and John are in fact one and the same [cue more dramatic music/thunder].

Do everyone think this? They do have different e-mail adresses.
I didn't want a pyramid.
I'm not sure if John and Prez are the same person but htey act like it.

Here is the link to Edwards' electoral college calculator:

It is good, but the deluxe calculator here is the best one I have seen.
