Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul
, Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2008
Presidential election:

* Number of States won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29
* Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans:
2,427,000
* Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million
Republicans: 143 million
* Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats:
13.2 Republicans: 2.1

land doesn't vote. nor do states. only people vote. so the stats are
irrelevant.

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory
Republicans won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of
the country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living
in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government
welfare..."

not quite. the states won by the GOP were those where abortion,
divorce and teen pregnancy is rampant. IOW where people don't practice
what they preach. and they are states where people get more from the
govt than they pay in taxes.


If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal
invaders called illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the
USA in fewer than five years. If you are in favor of this, then by
all means, delete this message.


this is the problem with conservatives: they want to deny citizenship
to hard working people and give it to the chairman of AIG and lehman
bros.


People do not vote for the President. States vote for the President. Did you sleep during Civics class? How a state picks their Electors is up to the state. Just happens that now all states have elections to pick the Electoral slate. And most states do not require the Electors to actually vote for the person picked by their electors. California, they only have to vote for the chosen candidate on the first ballot. So if a tie on the first ballot, the Electoral College could vote for someone not even on the ballot.



Jesus, Bill, is that the latest right wing wet dream, that since the "conservatives" will not win the presidential election in 2012 (with who? Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal?), the best hope is to subvert the electoral college?

You need to expand your horizons beyond Faux News and World Nutcase Daily. The Onion is more reliable and accurate than either Faux or WND.
