One word for the next four years. Howie will be even more splendid than Terry McAwful. How many losses can they take and still call it "victory?" (laughing)
The personal record is 3, held by William Jennings Bryan.
Currently, the Dems have not won the majority of the popular vote in 10 straight elections. Actually, in the past 160 years, the only 3 Democrats to get a majority of the popular vote are Lyndon Johnson, Franklin Roosevelt and, oddly enough, Samuel Tilden, who was punk'd out of the 1876 election by shenanagins in the House of Representatives.
Still, enough Dems have gotten elected that they managed to screw things up anyway.
