The difference is more than half a million popular votes. Popular vote means sh*t.

so you still deny that the popular vote of the individual states determines the outcome of the Electoral College...?

Just because you your car is moving does not mean you are closer to your destination. You MIGHT be closer but you might not be.

For the popular vote to be of any significance, it has to be strategically placed. For example, Algore winning NY and CA with large popular vote base can be negated by Dubya winning relatively small popular votes in Idaho, Iowa, Utah and the likes.

You are arguing against basic math.
