Your interpretation. Gore, with a booming economy, should have beaten Bush by 15 points. Interesting that you think everybody's a "moron."
Bush was on the ropes and ready to be ushered from the White House in '04 until Jihadists started flying airplanes into buildings causing people to cluster around Bush in panic.
Again, your feeble interpretation.
You don't like Bush, that's clear. But the guy you do like is despised by the rest of the American electorate.

No, your feeble counterinterpretation. Your so deep into denial and resentment of me that you would assert the sun will rise in the West tomorrow morning.

Interesting you should mention it. Given you assumptions, since the economic boom did not suddenly arise in two weeks, I would expect Bush to have started 15 points down instead of up. The people were desperate to vote against Gore. As it was, they perceived equality between the candidates and stayed home in disgust. Lit's see what kind of psychobabble you can come up with to deal with that.
