How many states will have over 60% of voters voting democrat?

[MissouriStunner]

Obviously Kerry will get some heavy defeats in the land of the mormons or the God is a Republican type states. But cosidering how much this President is dispised not only because of his policies (increasing healthcare, increasing gas prices, increasing house prices, increasing threat to America etc) and also with his policies being defended by people who live in Texas that dont KNOW OR HAVE THE BRAIN POWER TO UNDERSTAND HOW DIFFICULT LIFE HAS BEEN SINCE 2000, i believe that the democrats are going to come out in force and do some serious damage.

60% + voters rightly voting John Kerry
Rhode Island
Columbia
New York
Massachusetts
Vermont ?
Connecticut

P.S BEWARE of any Republican on this forum that comes from Ohio. In Ohio, the Bush-Cheney campaign have 1 campaigner in every district and they are paid to distort the truth by phoning radio shows, telling minorities that their polling station is somewhere different, telling them that its nov 3. The Republican machine are ready to steal Ohio and its being stolen by the people within.

One state I have at over 60% for Kerry: Rhode Island.  (DC too of course)

[dazzleman]

I think Boss Tweed is closer to correct than MissouriStunner.

I doubt that Connecticut will vote over 60% for Kerry, but we'll see.

In any case, it really doesn't matter because the electoral college picks the president.  It doesn't matter whether Kerry gets 51% or 70% of the votes in those liberal northeastern states listed; he gets the same electoral vote count.

Likewise, it doesn't matter that Republicans get 70+% of the vote in Utah and Wyoming and states like that.

Vote percentages above a plurality in individual states matter only because they give some indication of national strength.  As an example, I looked at the 1976 returns and saw that Gerald Ford had won pretty narrowly in a lot of states that normally go strongly Republican.  This was an indication of his national weakness, and had an indirect, rather than a direct, effect on his electoral vote count.

Go check out some of the southern results from the 1880s - 1920s. Some Democrats got 95% of the vote. lol

I was not aware that increasing gas prices were a policy of the Bush administration.....I guess you learn something new about paranoid delusions every day!

I am a Republican from Ohio. Obviously I am a horrible human being because of what Missouri Stunner says. Right.

Of course.  You are one of Satan's little helpers.

Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and DC will certainly. If Hillary is picked NY might get above 60% too, but I doubt she will be picked as VP. Vermont could go over 60% too.

Now THERE's an idea!  Here I was thinking that the latter idea was the best solution... but the polling station thing is brilliant!  All you have to do is direct people to one polling station, then put a sign on the door that says another place, then put a sign at the next place... on thats just fantastic!  Thanks!

Probably 60% are Rhode Island, Mass., DC, and New York

Maybe 60% in Hawaii, Vermont, and Maryland

Outside shot in Jersey, Delaware, and Connecticut

This Missouristunner is a complete troll...

So because he makes new topics and is extremly liberal/anti-conservative he is a troll?

[bullmoose88]

DC
Rhode Island
Maybe Massachusetts


That will be it.

Now thats not to say Kerry won't whoop Bush's ass in a bunch of states...but he won't break 60%...Bush will be in the 30s and Kerry in the high 50s...ie New York, Connecticut...

Bush was in the 40s in Vermont...theres still a strong GOP party there...just much more liberal than Bush.

I agree with bullmoose for the most part.  I see Kerry getting 60% in RI and DC.  That's about it.  He'll get close in Mass. but won't quite make it.  

Look at 1988.  Dukakis only got  53.23 percent of the vote in Mass.  He did better in Iowa than his home state.  That's not to say Kerry won't do better than Dukakis in Mass., I think he will.  But it will be more like 58%.  

NY...I think Kerry gets around 56% here, same for VT.  CT...Kerry gets around 57%.
