War was not an issue in 1992 - the economy was the prime issue. Most americans cared little about Iraq by 1992, but they did care about jobs, so clinton got the swing vote. The same thing is shaping up for 2004. 2004 might be a rerun of 1992.

Klinton received about 42% of the popular vote if I recall correctly. Are you predicting that the crazy little general will resurface again?

Clinton received more votes than the republican bush. As far as that goes, the democrat has received more votes than a republican for the past 15 years. A republican has not out voted a democrat since 1988. Although bush did get into the presicency while losing the popular vote, it was a fluke(only happened 3 times in 200 years) dont count on it happening every year. As long as democrats continue to getr more votes than the republican, the democrats will get into office more often than not.

I am not prediciting anything , I just want the republicans to start getting more votes than democrats, and the way to do that is to have a strong economy, lots of good jobs, and lots of manufacturing and new factories going up.

But then we're a republic so, to the utter dismay of Progressives, the popular vote doesn't matter.
