Probably all of them… oh wait… he probably won’t win our 51st state, Iraq. ---

All of them, of course. I just need to get this mind-control device working. More seriously, I think he will win just enough to get reelected. ---

He’ll win pretty much the same states he won last time, Kerry will win pretty much all the states Gore won last time, and the race will go down to the wire again. Who wins? I dunno- comes down to Florida and a few other states (like Ohio and Missouri) again. ---

States won by Bush in 2004: zero. States won by Kerry: zero. Now, if you want to talk about states won by Electoral College members, that’s a different story. 🙂 ---

Wow! A thread _by_ a Bush supporter _for_ Bush supporters, asking if Bush will win! Gee, I wonder what the consensus will be… ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > Wow! A thread _by_ a Bush supporter _for_ Bush supporters, asking if Bush will win! Gee, I wonder what the consensus will be… Did he ask if Bush would win…or did he ask how many states did others think Bush would win? There is a difference. Now if he came in here and posted “Who thinks Bush will win the election in Nov. 2004? Bush Supporters Only…Please” then I could see your point. But he only asked which states unless I’m missing something. ---

Like the last time, Bush only has to worry about how many Justices he can get to vote for him. ---
