Swing states are part of the story, but consider: For the second time in a row, the Democratic ticket has failed to carry its own states. John Edwards’ North Carolina has 15 electoral votes; add on either Iowa or New Mexico and that’s enough to swing it — and that negates Ohio. In 2000, forget Florida; Gore wins by carrying his home state of Tennessee where his family had held national elective office since the 50s.
What’s the use of a running mate that can’t deliver his home state, especially when he presently holds office there?
I’ll return with my sense of humor tomorrow.
