Default Re: Libs, Dems: What should we do about Miers?

You're first statement is really dumb. In 1996 Clinton won with 49.2% of the vote, Dole had 40.7%, and Perot had 8.4%. Let's assume that Dole got EVERY one of Perot's votes (a mighty assumption, indeed), which would give him 49.1%. Clinton still wins, dumbass.

Well, there's no doubt that shaun is a dumbass.
That having been said, your satement above is wrong. If every Perot vote in 1996 had gone to Dole, then 11 states would have switched their electoral votes: Arizona, Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, New Hamphire, Ohio, Oregon, Penssylvania, Tennessee and Wisconsin. That would have been a 133-EV swing, giving Dole the presidency with 292 EVs vs. 246 for Clinton.

Spelling flames are TOTALLY LAME. Especially when one makes usage errors in the VERY SAME POST. You're free to reread your post (or even just what I quoted above) to see what I mean. Please, let's try to do better.
