15. If the SD's go against the will of the popular vote...
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 01:07 PM by RiverStone
We would lose the GE.

We may lose our majority on The Hill.

And 1/3 or more of Dem voters would walk away from the party in disgust.

Too many still remember how the SCOTUS stole the 2000 election when Gore had 1/2 a million more in the popular vote. Dem leaders simply will not let that scenario ever happen again.


On Edit: currently Obama leads the popular vote nationally by about 600K
