Now have a look again at the U.S. Constitution and take your seat next
to Hamilton, becauase you're now in favor of the Electoral College
system that got Bush into office on a minority vote...


Minority vote? Bush had a majority of the electoral vote, as is required by
the Constitution or the election goes to the House.

Now, Steven, I know that. But the popular vote, the one all Bush's
enemies keep harping on, is the one he got a bare minority on.

At the time, I could have handled Gore as President. (People aren't
really that stupid, America would have just given Gore a Congress that
hated him) It was the atrocious politically opportunistic behavior in
Florida, and all the swirling sophistries connected with it, which
made me a bit ill.

Here's to a clear and honorable decision, this time around, no matter
who takes the prize.

Rob, who will cast the vote but not hold out much hope for honor among
thiev^H^H^H^H^Hpoliticians...

How does one get a "bare minority" of the popular vote? Gore received a
higher popular vote than Bush, but neither received a majority of the vote.
Bush won more states and more counties than Gore, something the Democrats
seem to forget.

And more importantly, Bush won the only thing that counts. The Electoral
College.

Ah me. I can't seem to abridge these days.

I voted for Bush and for the Democrat congressional candidate for my
House district. But he didn't get the most popular votes.
