even if the red states lose, the red staters will be on TV telling everyone how much they "really believe" they are winning and that they "really believe" things are going well. just like in Iraq.
we're sounding more and more like the Iraqi information minister every day.
but on a serious note, i think the Blue States will win. here's why: as long as we can prevent a seige from the gun owners, the combined economic might of California and NYC could easily wreck the economies of the red states. plus, you'll see cities like Miami and St. Louis starting their own mini-revolts within the red states.
