The race for California

Clinton and Obama battle for a mother lode of delegates -- in a state with a nonwhite Latino, Asian, black majority. Who has figured out the electoral math?

    I really wonder

    if it will matter much who is the Democratic nominee. I've studied the 2004 electoral college map, and I think that Obama and Clinton will carry every state that Kerry/Edwards carried in 2004. He/she need only carry Ohio or Florida (both lost to voter intimidation, voter fraud, and voter suppression) to win. Does anyone honestly believe that CA or HI or NY or MD or ANY of the blue states will go for a repub in 2008?

    The keys are FL and OH. By all means, vote today (or next week) for your guy or gal. But if you really want to win, send money and labor to FL and OH. That's where the battle will be won (or stolen).
