Vote for your favorite ElectTerra Day MIHOP cities

[TruthIsAll]

You know, the one where Bush is most likely to let it happen in our first TERRA election.

There all good, solid democratic cities. Lots of minorities, liberal.
Prime candidates for the Repuke plans to "Keep the Voters Home".

It's the opposite of the Dems "Get out the Vote" campaign.

Just politics, nothing personal.

1. I've been saying San Francisco all along

because al-Qaeda and the Busheviks have an almost identical hatred of homosexuals for identical fundamentalist reasons.

I feel very sad for San Francisco, and I very much hope I am wrong in my assessment.

2. No, no, no. This is backwards. Remember bush*co says the terra'ists

want Kerry to win. That means their plan would have to target REPUKE strongholds. Eliminating democratic voters is a sure way for bush* to "win". An attack in a big, democratic city is PROOF of a bush*co operation. The poll cities should be Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Salt Lake City, etc.

3. It won't be San Francisco

If Bushco's purpose is keeping the vote at home, it will happen in a swing state.

Bush is going to lose big in California.

5. Yes, I predict a swing state as well. One where is down in the polls.

That is why I opt for Philadelphia. Although Clevland would be likely too. The media keeps repeating if the republicans lose Ohio, they lose the election.

So many places, only one vote.

[Sandpiper]

7. I think the two most likely Red States from 2000 would be

Ohio and Missouri. If Bush had lost either of those in 2000, he'd have lost the election. Even in 2004, if he carries every other state he did in 2000 and loses either Ohio or Missouri, Kerry wins the election.

Anyway, DUers in Cleveland and St. Louis beware.

4. The real target would be

a large city in a blue state that is otherwise Republican.

Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and New York all qualify

[JohnLocke]

6. Pittsburgh, perhaps?

[IronLionZion]

8. too many rich white Republicans there

Pitt is not Democratic enough for Rove...I mean Osama to attack it. :P

[Literate Tar Heel]

9. I mentioned something about this possibility

a few days ago and gave Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Miami as possible targets ... I think they could blow San Francisco off the map and still lose California, so that doesn't seem very probable ... of course my understanding is that much of Ohio is using Diebold machines so they may that in the bag already

10. How to narrow down the targets ...

...

First, take note that all the warnings have been about heavily democrat favoring cities.

Second, look at ways the administration can claim the event was ained at them personally in order to push how brave they are, to drum up sympathy, and how much the terra-ists want everyone to vote them out and thus shouldn't.

Third, see if the location has a large minority population.

That leads me to think Baltimore (where I live) is a likely target for anything catastrophic that the admin would encourage, allow, and/or manufacture.

11. WI is going red this election, I fear.

13. Frisco...

the people there are an endangered species, according to Jeb! TM

14. Detroit/Wayne County

1. Massively Democratic and Afro-Amer (supppress vote as outstate is far more Republican).

2. Extremely large middle-eastern origin population especially in the western suburbs (Dearborn) to blame it on.

3. Bonus is to drive wedge between Arab-Amer and Afro-Amer (already an issue as many stores in Detroit are Arab-owned and are resented by Afro-Amer just as Korean stores were targeted in LA riots).

4. Nothing key in Detroit proper for corporations to lose.
