Look people, your electoral college system makes the whole thing a bad joke anyway. How can you even take it seriously? And what can you possibly do about it? Not much, I figure, because the rich own the media and the media supplies the public with virtually all the information that forms public opinion. So the media will keep the public distracted with sound bites and scare stories, and the game will go on.

Your public would have to so massively lose faith in both the Democrats AND the Republicans that they would no longer be able to govern before this mess could possibly be cleaned up.

As for the "redneck" thing, well, I think the general fact is that country and small town people tend more to vote Republican while big city people tend more to vote Democrat...and that's how you'll see it go. The biggest urban areas are in California and the Northeast, where the Democrats are expected to win.

If the scare tactics practiced by the Bush administration succeed, he will be re-elected, and encouraged in his insanity. If not, Kerry will be elected, and you will still have a bloody, intractable, and criminal occupation of Iraq by USA and British forces...and maybe another war a little way down the road too, with some other small country like Syria or Iran. You're up shit creek, folks, because you are ruled by a militaristic oligarchy that owns both major parties.
