Which was exactly the point I tried to make to ART. Believe me, I know how
the President is elected.

I never mentioned Electoral votes in my post. The topic of Art's post

was
the popular vote.


Then you are wasting your breath--the nationwide popular vote does not

mean
squat.

From http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/2000presgeresults.htm

Popular Vote:

Bush: 50,456,002 47.87%
Go 50,999,897 48.38%

Looks like more to me!

Uhmmm...I believe his point is in regards to the votes that actually
count--the Electoral College ones. ISTR Bush got more of those?

Art, can you name the other presidents who were elected with

less
than
a
majority of the popular vote? Or have you forgotten them?
