(554 posts)the swing state rally push on the campaigns. I think the supporters in all the other states would like at least a rally along the way. Not that I think every state should get a visit, but share the love and positive energy to some other blue states is all I am saying.
I sure hope that there is a wave of blue on Nov 5th, the likes that the world couldn't even imagine, because we are all hoping for it too.

(38,056 posts)anyone would like. Blue states don't need rallies and are smart enough not to want "equal" attention -- that would be a false form of egalitarianism.
Let neighboring blue state folks travel to the battleground rallies and add to the blue momentum those battlegrounds can use.
The part you don't get is that "swing" means that no matter how high the popular vote is nationally, if it's not enough in a "battleground" to win electoral votes, the fact of winning millions more in the popular vote nationally won't matter if more than one of the 7 current battlegrounds win electoral votes by just one popular vote of the opposing party. Democrats need 270 electoral votes to win.
Seven battleground states are the key to getting to 270. Take a look here...

(554 posts)I was just saying, in my opinion, that it would be nice to share the momentum of the campaign with blue states as well and didn't understand the reasoning. Thanks for explaining your thoughts on swing state importance. I suppose in the end, the biggest rally/party will be the day that MVP becomes Madame President and takes her oath of office.

(38,056 posts)cost/benefit calculation to winning electoral votes in the battlegrounds.
Campaigns must not be mistaken for spectacle.
Yes indeed, CB -- win first, party later.
And you can be sure when it comes to celebrating the first woman US President in US history, there will be so many inaugural balls and events in Washington DC that it will be the nation's Party Central.
Right now what's right in front of us is the next 12 days, 18 million votes and counting.

(24,835 posts)Security breach close to his performance time was actually what led to him being cut from the program. I was disappointed too, Bev54.
Let's hope nothing gets in the way this time. 🤞

Anyway, I'm talking about sniper range beyond the moat, anywhere there's a line of sight.

(15,629 posts)I know the DNC has to do what it must to stay on time, and James gets it. Still, I was sad.
So James in NC is better!
