President H. W. Bush lost reelection because of President H. W. Bush. Just like algore lost 2000 because of algore.

I disagree, as well. I use the axiom: "It's the voters, stupid." because it is the voters. If I understand it correctly, voters elect people who appoint electors to the Electoral College. In some states, the Electors are voted directly by the people and are not appointed (it's the voters...). The most popular votes in the states determines the electors, I believe (it's the voters...). If no one gets a majority of Electoral Votes, the US House selects the President, and the House member are voted into office (it's the voters....).

You didn't get the point, he lost because he turned off the voter. Like you said it is the voters that matter and a lot of them just did not vote, along with some that voted for Perot.
