Bush's victory was indeed legitimate, were released, they seemed like an afterthought. That isn't the way this country works, and hasn't been since the formulation of the country. It is a loser's argument (IMHO, of course :)) 27 3 posted on 11/20/2003 6:53:04 AM PST by 28 pdjplano 29 Post Reply | 30 Private Reply | 31 To 1 | 32 View Replies To: pdjplano It is a loser's argument (IMHO, of course :)) Agreed - the Electoral College is a part of the system and the Dims only problem with the system is when they can't subvert it for their own gain. The title of the article is misleading as 95+% of the text discusses the Kennedy-Nixon election. The line was that W would win the popular vote and Gore the Electors.

The libs' high priest and deity X42 won only 43% of the vote in 1992 - a "majority" of the US apparently preferring a president, not named clinton. How come all the "progressive" Bush hating socialists aren't demanding the entire PRESIDENCY of Woody Wilson be overturned? Both Roosevelt and Taft, for instance, denounced he proposal to nationalize the railroads as "rank socialism". And we all know how many Bush-Perot supporters (which constituented 57% of voters in 1992,BTW) supported Bubba's plan for Hillary Care and the like. A majority of "the American people" voted for conservative-minded Texans in 1992. The idiot Bush haters never started a lynch mob when Clinton pushed socialism against the "will of the people" But we all know "mandates" only matter when a REPUBLICAN loses the 'popular' vote, right? The correct statement is that Gore won the popular vote that was counted' by about 500,000. If I remember correctly, there was a least 1,000,000 write-in votes that were not counted in California. It was decided that it was not worth the time and money to count these votes because Gore won the state by about 1,300,000 votes. If these votes had been counted, and assuming that a large percent of these votes were military, the outcome of the popular vote may have been different.
