[theboss]

4. God, I love the introductions

The Great State of West Virginia...home of Chuck Yeager, the New River Gorge, and um . . .uh....Randy Moss casts 85 votes for. . .

[maveric]

5. Why do they yield to another state?

Is it that they arent sure about their vote?

[Dookus]

7. lol

no, they're all quite sure.

The first two states yielded so the home states of the candidates can go first. Then some states will yield in order to allow a pre-determined state to put the candidate "over the top".

[DemMother]

13. Wonder who that will be...

Florida??

[Dookus]

21. that's my guess

or Pennsylvania

[DemMother]

30. I think PA will do it

But then I'm batting 0 for 0...

[RichV]

52. OHIO

Planned ahead of time due to its importance this cycle.

[DemMother]

8. They want Mass to nominate Kerry--favorite son

[arcos]

12. I think some states do that to be the "decisive" votes...

and it is usually planned ahead of time :P

[Hamlette]

17. they yield for favorite son votes

Mass got to vote first and North Carolina second. They always do that. They might also yield to a "big" state when it comes time to put Kerry over the top. They often do that.

yeah, I'm a geek. Got tears in my eyes when they yielded to Mass. Course, I cry every time I hear Star Spangled Banner.

[Blue_Roses]

6. who just did the 6 votes?

which state was that? Geeze...

[SunDrop23]

10. America Samoa?

[dweller]

did that happen?

43. Not in my memory. Pretty conservative in the eastern parts.

[Enraged_Ape]

71. Idaho gave us some great Democrats...

including Senator Frank Church and Governor (and Secretary of the Interior) Cecil D. Andrus. But to my knowledge, they've never sent Democratic electors to Washington--at least in the second half of the twentieth century.

[goobergunch]

There were 3 in Georgia, 1 in North Carolina, and 4 in Hawaii by my count.
