Go play with your chads. Chicago and New York screwed-up by
trying to trust the Cubans to elect them. The Cubans don't like Gore.
They don't like Kerry either. The Democrats have missed the boat
down there since 1963.

Who won the popular vote?

Who won the Grammy?


I see. When you find an uncomfortable question you answer with a
different question.

I'll give you a hint. George Bush wasn't the winner.

In point of fact, no one won a majority of the popular vote, nor did
they in the previous presidential election. But neither of those
tidbits are relevant to the discussion, as the President of the United
States has never been elected via a popular vote. The number of
people in the news (including, IIRC, Chelsea Clinton) who expressed
surprise and dismay at this fact should be made to retake high school
civics. As should those who still seem to cling to it as though it
does, or ever did, have some relevance. If you want a leader elected
through direct popular vote, move to -- hmm, having a hard time
finding one. Even Castro was listed as being elected via
"legislative vote."
