The Reason Why EVERY Election Will Be Close....
I think it's safe to assume at this point, that there are approx. 35% of the U.S., who will not only Approve of ANYTHING this administration and the repubs do, but will VOTE repub 100% OF THE TIME!

I think that's the floor. NO MATTER WHAT THE DEMS DO, that 30-35% will always exist, and be an impediment towards moving forward "Together" as a country.

I think that 35% is made up as follows:

10% - Rich Folks, Support repubs for "economic" benefits & reasons.

10% - Evangelists, Support repubs for "religious" reasons & brainwashing.

10% - MORONS, Too STUPID to know any better, high school educations.

5% - Others. Ignorant, Naive, Go with what they're told by media to do.


Seeing someone like Katherine Harris and Blackwell getting 35-40%, solidifies my belief that these folks are out there, and ain't going anywhere.

We need to overcome this Now and Every Election Of Our Lifetime, and no matter what we do, no matter how Great the Democrats turn out to be, these 30-35% will NEVER VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT!

Sad, but it's the obstacle, and the floor which we as Democrats must likely ignore, as they will Never change.

I know this, as I have a couple of friends, a couple of relatives, and a MORON for a secretary, that will always fall into that 35%, and NOTHING will make them compromise or alter their beliefs. NOTHING!!!

2. I Never Said It Was Close...
Only that she is going to get 35-40% of the vote. The mere fact she gets that amount is scary shit, but at least it's the minority.
