Reply #30: You Are Right With Regards to Electoral Votes, But

[David Zephyr]

I was speaking strictly about popular votes, "With the change in demographics within the nation in the last 4 years alone, Al Gore would now have won the election by a shockingly wider margin than he did." I have heard that Gore's 540,000 margin might now be greater than 1 million.

Still, we have already been down the road of winning popular votes and having the election stolen through contested electoral votes which was the motivation for my thread.

My #1 and #2 suggestions for Kerry winning dealt strictly with electoral votes which is why I hope he will target the winnable states and I don't think that risking the entire election on the dicey proposition that John Edwards can deliver North Carolina is a sound strategy.
