Re: Blowing off 27 electoral votes
Thanks for coming by next week for a three-day campaign swing, Senator.
There has been lots of chatter about you ceding Florida to Sen. John McCain,given the way you've ignored the state for eight months and dismissed the1.75-million Democrats who voted in our disputed Democratic primary. We'retrying not to take it personally when you keep talking about the oldelectoral map - i.e., Pennsylvania, Ohio and US! - being so 2000/2004.
