I know that there are a lot of political junkies (myself included) here at SON, so here is an interesting list for you: a list of each of the states, and which presidential candidate won those states in 2000 and in 2004. Before I begin the list, here are some notes:

*The states will be listed in order of population.

*The District of Columbia will be included in this list, as if it was a state.

*After the dashes that follow each state's name, a number will appear. This number represents how many electoral votes each state currently has. As I mentioned in another thread, the number of electoral votes a state has equals the number of Congressmen a state has plus the number of Senators each state has. However, since each state has two Senators, the formula can be rewritten like this: the number of electoral votes a state has equals the number of Congressmen a state has plus two. And, FYI, it takes 270 electoral votes in order to win a presidential election.

*After the number of electoral votes that each state has, there will be a parentheses. The contents of these parentheses will tell you which presidential candidate won that particular state in both 2000 and 2004.

Here is the list:

1. California--55 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

2. Texas--34 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

3. New York--31 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

4. Florida--27 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

5. Illinois--21 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

6. Pennsylvania--21 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

7. Ohio--20 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

8. Michigan--17 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

9. New Jersey--15 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

10. Georgia--15 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

11. North Carolina--15 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

12. Virginia--13 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

13. Massachusetts--12 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

14. Indiana--11 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

15. Washington--11 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

16. Tennessee--11 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

17. Missouri--11 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

18. Wisconsin--10 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

19. Maryland--10 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

20. Arizona--10 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

21. Minnesota--10 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

22. Louisiana--9 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

23. Alabama--9 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

24. Colorado--9 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

25. Kentucky--8 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

26. South Carolina--8 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

27. Oklahoma--7 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

28. Oregon--7 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

29. Connecticut--7 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

30. Iowa--7 (Gore in 2000 & Bush in 2004)

31. Mississippi--6 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

32. Kansas--6 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

33. Arkansas--6 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

34. Utah--5 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

35. Nevada--5 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

36. New Mexico--5 (Gore in 2000 & Bush in 2004)

37. West Virginia--5 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

38. Nebraska--5 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

39. Idaho--4 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

40. Maine--4 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

41. New Hampshire--4 (Bush in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

42. Hawaii--4 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

43. Rhode Island--4 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

44. Montana--3 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

45. Delaware--3 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

46. South Dakota--3 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

47. North Dakota--3 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

48. Alaska--3 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

49. Vermont--3 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

50. District of Columbia--3 (Gore in 2000 & Kerry in 2004)

51. Wyoming--3 (Bush in 2000 & 2004)

Before I conclude, I want to point out two things. First, in today's polarized political climate (where most states are lopsided in favor of one party or the other), every electoral vote counts, since there are at most 15 swing states. Second, it is interesting to observe that only three states--Iowa, New Mexico, and New Hampshire--voted for one party's presidential candidate in 2000 and the other party's presidential candidate in 2004. This means that all other states voted either for or against Bush in both 2000 and 2004.

First, in today's polarized political climate (where most states are lopsided in favor of one party or the other),

That is true to some extent, but...and I may be off-base, but I think the red state/blue state divide is a delusion created by the media. While obviously there is going to be more Liberal places(California, DC, Mass.) and Conservative places(Utah, West Texas, parts of the Bible Belt), when you look the election map by counties at state level, lots of them were purple...meaning an equal mix. I don't think we'll ever since an election like the ones in 1984(49 states going to President Reagan) or the 1992 one(a strong independent candidate).

The thing that pisses me off about the presidential election is that the whole process is so stupid. Like, if you don't live in a battleground state, what's the point of voting at all?? I live in MA, and I'm extremely liberal, but still...why vote when I know that my state is going to go Democrat anyway? That's why I want to declare myself as a NH or something b/c then my vote would mean something at least.

I know that the whole electorial system was made to save the American citizens, but today we have a million news media outlets that it's impossible for presidential candidates to conceal anything anymore. We don't need to be protected by the electors anymore. It just pointless.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.
