Sorry Geoff, but Bush won the popular vote, as well, especially when you count in all the illegal aliens voting in southern California, by the hundreds of thousands, if not millions (!!!), 300,000 alone in Lorretta Sanchez's District, plus all the Blacks who voted illegally after 7:00 pm in St. Louis, and all the surpressed voting in heavily Republican Northwest Florida (Ft. Walton Beach, Panama City and Pensacola). By some estimates if CBS had not called Florida before the West Florida Time Zone votes had been surpressed Bush would have gotten 10,000 more votes in FL in the final tally, much more than the 547 vote margin.
