If ACORN had managed to produce another 120,000 votes for Kerry in Ohio in 2004, he would have won the electoral vote contest against Bush.

JFK gave away part of Texas to Mexico--at least some people would see it that way. (An international court had ruled in Mexico's favor--it had to do with a bit of land called El Chamizal in El Paso, where the Rio Grande had shifted its course).

I’ll be pissed off if the day ever comes a democrat wins the EC and loses the popular vote.

2004 ended up a bit closer than I thought it would be. But except I think for a meaningless post convention bump for Kerry it was never worse than a tie.

“JFK gave away part of Texas to Mexico”

Interesting, I never heard of that. JFK was a douche. James Polk would have been disappointed in him. Seems like a meaningless little piece of land but still, it’s the principle of the thing.
