Homonger, before you start to criticize our Presidential election process, perhaps you should educate yourself on how it works. The only thing worse than a know-it-all is an ignorant know-it-all.
GWB was elected by the same method as every one of his predecessors. The Electoral College (no, it is not an actual college, so dont think you can visit it) is based on popular votes by state..... not in sum total for the nation.... and although Gore accumulated the most popular votes, he (and everyone except a few whiny liberals) knew in advance that he needed to accumulate the most Electoral votes.
Stick to things you know something about....
