[displacedyankeedem]

Me thinks this is the clearest sign that Bush has got major problems brewing.

1. Amazing!

There aren't many more right wing states than South Carolina....

[PROGRESSIVE1]

2. Seeing that this is one poll from South Carolina.....

Bush will have to fight like hell this fall!

I was expecting that South Carolina would have numbers more like these:

Bush: 57%
Democrat: 33%
Undecided: 10%

:dem:

3. For who think California and New York are actually vulnerable

Redo your math and look at these poll numbers. * will be spending a lot of time in Dixie this election.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

7. The Democratic nomminee will win.....

California by 10% and New York by at LEAST 15%-20%

The numbers should look something like this:

California:
Dem: 54%
Rethug: 44%
Other 2%

New York:
Dem: 60%
Rethug: 39%
Other: 1%

15. You're dreaming

When was the last time that a Democrat even approached those numbers? Let's not forget that Bush hasn't spent a dime campaigning yet.

4. That is astonishing

If Bush is losing (or close to losing) in "red" states like South Carolina, there is no way he could ever put together an electoral college majority. Bush could be looking at a loss of historic proportions, just like when daddy lost in 1992.

5. This is eactly why..

we need someone who can run in the South, not someone who has decided it's best to ignore us.

As I've been saying, this election represents one of the best opportunities in recent history for us to start winning back the South, and at least make some of these Southern states swing states again. Clark, Edwards and yes, even People-Powered Howard can do that (Southerners like grass-roots, and even staunch Republicans I know are in awe of Dean's grass-roots campaign).

[West Coast Democrat]

6. Did everyone see the latest Newsweek National Poll?

Bush's approval is now at 49% with 44% disapproving!!!

8. Interesting finding from the same poll.

Only 15% of those polled said they would prefer that the nominee be a Southerner. A whopping 83% said it doesn't matter. We should campaign hard in this area.

9. I think this poll is an outlier

The race in SC is closer then that. However, I share your excitement over the close race with Bush and think that a Kerry-Edwards ticket would me hard to beat.

[Auntie Bush]

16. The only harder ticket to beat is a Clark/Kerry or a Kerry/Clark ticket

Kerry is already a Senator...so we don't need more of the same...but we can always use more military expertise to keep Bush at bay.

10. I've been saying we'll win SC for over two years now.

The veterans are NOT HAPPY down here.

11. Just goes to show

You can only sell people out so long before they throw you out of office.

[KayLaw]

12. Also interesting

There's an article on Smirking Chimp by Paul Heller in which he mentions a poll on a conservative site in which 90% of the respondents said they wish there were more than one Republican contender.
You can read it at: www.smirkingchimp.com or www.hellermountain.com

13. Great news!

Bush ought to not even have to worry about South carolina. If a Democrat can run even with him there, then we have a solid chance to carry Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Louisiana, maybe even Georgia and North Carolina.

[Auntie Bush]

17. Wouldn't that be fabulous to

have a Democrat win a sweep of Southern states? Really would not only put Bush and the conservative neo-cons off the table but bury them in all the crap they spout. I never want to see or hear them again.

[mitchum]

14. Beautiful news

my folks are not alone in SC

[Adjoran]

18. But wait!

Weren't a bunch of people in here the last week or so saying we should just write off the south? The hell with those rednecks?

Sure, the race in SC is too close to call for November right now. But after we leave the state to the repubs for another nine months, and make no effort there, that won't be the case.

No, no, we better just forget the south, lest we offend the sensibilities of some of our elites, who don't want to dirty their hands shaking with the Great Unwashed.
