1964 - Johnson from Texas
1968 - Nixon from California
1972 - Nixon from California
1976 - Carter from Georgia
1980 - Reagan from California
1984 - Reagan from California
1988 - Bush from Texas
1992 - Clinton from Arkansas
1996 - Clinton from Arkansas
2000 - Bush from Texas
see a pattern? the presidents are always from southern or western states. And these states just keep getting more electoral votes every time the votes are adjusted for new census numbers. The northern and western states that went for Gore will have even less electoral votes in 2004 than they did in 2000 because the 2000 numbers were based on the 1990 census. Not one president from a Northeastern state since Kennedy. So why would the Democrats nominate Kerry or hold their convention in far-off Boston, especially when the Republicans will hold their convention in terror-struck New York, probably around the Sept. 11 anniversary?
