so your point is that he came in second or something? WTF are you babbling about, he won the electoral college and got the most popular votes. Is your algorithm stuck again?

"He didn’t win the popular vote, that is my point."

Maybe this is one of those situations where I might be wrong. See, I always thought that winning the popular vote meant that you got the most votes... Are you saying that Clinton didn't get the most votes? (It kind of looks like he did.) Or is there some other definition of winning that I'm not aware of?

From your post:

Bill Clinton Democratic 44,909,889
George Bush Republican 39,104,545
Ross Perot Independent 19,742,267

He won a plurality in a three man race, which is part of what he needed to do. The electoral collage total was the other part.

Let me put the question to you straight you fucking hypocrite.

If Gore and Clinton were GOPERS, with exactly the same election results, you wouldn't be asking for a reexamination of the rationale for the electoral college?
