consortiumnews.com - http://www.consortiumnews.com Vice President Al Gore has become only the second presidential candidate in U.S. history to win more than 50 million votes -- and the first to reach that mark as a non-incumbent president. Gore's swelling national numbers also give him about a 300,000-vote popular-vote margin over Texas Gov. George W. Bush, according to unofficial tallies. Still, Gore appears likely to be the first popular-vote winner to be denied the White House since 1888. If Bush can hold onto a narrow lead in Florida and claim those 25 electoral votes, the Texas governor will become the first popular-vote loser to claim the presidency in modern U.S. history.
