From Yahoo:
Among the 50 states, Missouri has a record of picking presidents that’s hard to match — the Show Me State has voted for the eventual winner in every election since 1904, with the exception of 1956, when it voted for Adlai Stevenson. Ohio’s not a bad predictor, either: It is almost always close to the national average, and no Republican has ever been elected president without carrying the Buckeye State. In fact, in the 14 presidential elections since 1952, Ohio has gone with the winner 13 times. Just three other states can boast that record of accuracy: Missouri, Nevada and Tennessee.
On a completely separate note: I know that everyone that reads my blog is Pro Prop 8, but I thought I would put another plug in there for anyone who stumbles across this in the next few hours (hahah...riiight). Yes on PROP 8! It's not about discriminating, hate, or intolerance. Prop 8 is all about preserving the sanctity of marriage and protecting the family as God intended.
For some interesting views on Prop 8, check out these videos:

Hey... I like the new layout, although I don't know how 'new' it is since I haven't been online too much lately. I hope to remedy that shortly.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, voting is important. Not so important in states like Utah or California, where our votes don't count for much. But it's awesome to get that 'I voted, so I'm better than you' sticker. I love that thing.
