Democrats, who denounce George W. Bush as the worst president ever, along with Republicans who apply the same ugly title to Barack Obama, can't explain away the inconvenient fact that both of our most recent incumbents won re-election with 51% of the vote.

Even Bush, with Michael Moore and the entire left-wing news media establishment screeching about Iraq, won more of the popular vote in 2004 than he did in 2000. Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and even Richard Nixon improved their standing in the popular vote from one election to the next.

In my lifetime, the only incumbent who ever declined in his percentage of the popular vote, while still managing to scrape out a win, was Barack Obama.

That arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave got 992,965 less votes in 2012, then he did in the 2012 election. The reason he won was #1 voter fraud and #2 idiots voting for third party candidates. As if they have a chance getting elected.

OTOH President Bush got 11,580,500 more votes in 2004 then he did in the 2000 election.

Democrats have perfected stealing elections to a fine art.
