"who won the last Presidential election?"

Bush did not win the election; Gore lost. Gore got over a million more votes than Bush. We can thank Ralph Nader for defeating Gore, not Bush.

Without very strong conservative support, Bush will have no chance in 2004. If the market continues to crash, Bush's chances of re-election will follow the market.

And with the exception of the War on Terrorism, I would ask what real difference Bush's election has made in the legislative agenda that has been passed. I would proffer that Republican might have actually put up considerably more opposition to CFR if Gore were in the Whitehouse. I will even be so bold to suggest that it could not have been passed if Gore had won. I don't think Gore would have been bold enough to impose tariffs on steel and lumbar. He would not have needed to do this to keep the union vote in two critical states. There may be others, but it is late and I'm exhausted.

Gee, thanks for setting me straight. All this time I was positive that the Electoral College elected the president, not the POPULAR vote.

" Bush did not win the election ; Gore lost . Gore got over a million more votes than Bush " .

Here we go again with this kind of garbage . Considering what the Republic went thru while the judicial activist in Florida tried to overtly usurp the Constitution ,

Your above comments are simply incredible to read . You know as well as I do the popular vote has no place in our system . You really must be exhausted ..
