22. I saw someone
describe trying to get electors to flip as "trying to get 12 Sean Hannity's to vote for Kerry" yesterday. That's exactly how it ought to be viewed. It's purely not going to happen. There's a far better chance that Flordia will fall off into the ocean before selecting electors.

You people on the states bordering Florida, start digging a big trench around the boundary!
