Obama lies - - - again

[carlfense]

Ohio is a HUGE swing state and as much as I get sick and tired of that one state meaning so much, at least there is a midwestern (rural) state that means something.

 

 

Now, you are a campaign manager with limited resources. Where are you going to campaign? Are you going to go to a rural area and drive down roads where you are going to see a couple thousand people in a town the size of Waterloo Iowa or Columbia Missouri? Or, are you going to spend all your time flying from large metro to large metro where you are going to be around millions of voters?

Where do they do this now? (Other than Iowa . . . which has far less to do with the electoral college than the Iowa polls/primary?)

You don't think Ohio is rural in that agriculture is a large part of their economy?

Ohio is a lot like Nebraska. A few big cities (a few more than Nebraska, and bigger) but outside those large cities they're a very rustic state.

I think that it's the 10th most densely populated state in the country. More densely populated than California!

Because entire regions (like Nebraska) would be completely ignored by politicians.

 

Population of Nebraska: 1.84 million

Population of Houston, TX: 2.15 million

 

They're not going to care about a single person in the Midwest/Mountain West, especially those in rural areas. Every policy they could think of would cater towards people living in metropolitan areas because that's how they'll get elected.

 

And that would be different than what happens now... how?

exactly. the only time nebraska has gotten any play was when omaha was up for grabs. america should at least follow nebraska's model and give votes by district instead of winner take all.

that describes every state.
