    I like Georgia.

    Bob Barr just can't pull off the spoiler.
    He will forever be remembered as the inferior Bob to Bob Dole.
    Bob Dole also agrees that Bob Dole has superior Bobness to Bob Barr, particularly when referring to the Bob Dole Bob Dole Bob Dole.

    You could always ask for a ham sandwich.

    Whenever I need to close a deal I always throw in a ham sandwich.

    EDIT: Do you like Georgia because when Obama won there handily we knew we had this thing in the bag?
    What if you are in a dealing for ham sandwiches? It seems like, if you were dealing for, say, 100,000 sandwiches an extra one would be wholly unneccessary and in some cases undesired. Or, to punctuate the sandwich-dealing point, what if one were dealing with people who find ham sandwiches reprehesible, such as Muslims and Jewish People? That would seem to mess up the (presumably non-ham-sandwich-based) deal.
    How about we agree on this: In not necessarily all cases should a ham sandwich be involved in dealings.

    I could surrender North Carolina for Missouri. The research triangle is going to draw more yuppies and liberal leaning people between now and 2012, but Missouri is a plains state that should get more of a draw from an Illinoisan on the ballot.

    I really like how Nevada, New Mexico, and Colorado are in the mix. If it weren't for McCain I'd be curious to see how Arizona would have fared. Too bad Utah will never go blue; it'd be kind of neat to sweep the four corners.

    As an aside, would our respective nations be on friendly or unfriendly terms? We can assume that nearly all of the South (which I am currently in :( ) would be on unfriendly terms with the surrounding nations and probably be unbelievably xenophobic.
