Ironically, it was closer in the electoral college than it was in the popular vote.
Cheer up, though.
You're right, he shouldn't have gotten the votes he got.
But some states fell to voter fraud, of that I have no doubt. So the popular vote is also skewed. Wisconsin should have been ours. Pennsylvania was not lost by that much considering the vote size, and they showed 100% of Philadelphia registered voters voting. At least in the Minority area. So vote fraud is a HUGE problem.
The other thing is the weakness of the Republicans in communicating their message and standing up to the Democrats. If that is ever fixed, things can turn around for the better. {Also, a bunch of conservatives hate President Bush, which didn't help either. Some of them vote third party or not at all.}
Added to that you say, "At least in the Minority area." You have more info than I on vote fraud in Philadelphia, though I don't find it hard to believe at all. As I said in another post, if it were not for Philadelphia, PA may very well joined the Red states, rather than the Blue.
Any solution to any of this political farce? Expose Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton as two, for example, who give a "you are a victim" message to the black community. There are other people, who are of this race, who totally disagree with them.
Aside from that, I have little faith in the complete honesty of any politician who has been elected to serve his constituency...and the welfare of the country.
