(On edit: Texas moved to March 9th. Thanks, mermaid.)

Texas will by March 9, thanks to Tom Delay and his stupid Redistricting plan. We can't get in in time for Super Tuesday now.

and, despite the fact the map clearly violates the Voting Rights Act, it will probably pass the bought and paid for judicial review system.

And it tears apart my community (Travis County - Austin) into three whispers instead of one strong, unified LIBERAL voice.

Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida.

Nice and solid, but who knows, perhaps it's a recipe for a Clark comeback...

:) May the best candidate win.

We take the following states, very do-able, by the way...

AZ CA CT DC DE HI IL MA MD MI MN NH NJ NM NV NY OR PA RI VT WA WI WV

Final tally 272

Screw the South. Buncha conservo-creep Rethugs anyway. Who needs 'em? They're brainwashed, anyway!

You'll carefully note, in my above scenario, I didn't even give FL to our guy.

Oh, and before anyone throws a hissy fit, note carefully that I am a Southerner.

I just know the realities...and, guess what? The Presidency can be won without the South.

I still intend to vote for the Dem. candidate, whoever that may be (hopefully Dean) even though I know full well that, as a resident of Texas, my vote isn't gonna mean squat, because our 32 votes are going to W whether I like it or not.

We need to move to regional primaries.

better check that.
