Gore LOST in the electoral college, dummy, meaning Bush WON, yet you

try to claim Bush wasn't "elected".

So which is it, two-faced? Does winning the electoral college vote
count
for being elected, or not?

Spin it again, halfwit...

Uh, we're talking about an honest win in the electoral college. That
excludes Bush's 2000 "victory."

For Christ's sake, get over it already. Your guy lost.

When you righties "get over" Clinton, okay?

Yes, of course, but once again, you've completely missed the
point.
If
polls show he's got approximately half of the available
support,
he
simply
can't be said to be doing poorly


Absolutely absurd.

In a three-candidate race, 50% wins.

Not necessarily. I take it you are assuming that each one will at
least get some votes. As with assumptions, and particularly YOURS,
you
could likely be wrong.

Wanna bet? If even *one* person votes for Nader (ie--one of those
Palm
Beach idiots punches the wrong chad again), and Bush gets 50%, then
he
wins.

Man, how stupid ARE you, NOYB? That is nothing more, as I stated
above, than an assumption. Sure, I'll bet! As YOU said, *IF* one
person votes for Nader. How do you know that will happen? As I said,
you are wrong. Wrong because you are assuming that each candidate will
get SOME VOTES. Jeez, I hate repeating myself, but your answer is
exactly what I pointed out!!! If one person doesn't get any votes,
then, alas, 50% DOES NOT win the election. If you don't get it, I
can't make it any clearer, and you are utterly dumb.

So what are the odds that Nader won't vote for himself? How about the
odds
that some person somewhere won't accidently punch the wrong chad or the
wrong computer key? I'd say the odds are about...zilch.

If Bush garners 50% of the vote, he wins.

My word you are stupid!! What does ODDS have to do with anything? If
you want to put it that way, there is also a chance that Nader will
NOT vote for himself. HE could punch the wrong chad. There is also a
chance that NO person will punch the wrong chad. You are wrong, plain
and simple. The possibility, no matter how slim, is still there, that
with 50% of the votes, Bush might not win.

You're wrong on many levels. First of all, the possibility of Bush getting
50% of the vote and losing when there's a third candidate in the race is not
just "slim" as you say...it's so infinitesimally small that it (practically
speaking) does not even exist. If you want to keep arguing that there's a
chance, then go ahead and knock yourself out...'cause you look stupid.
Secondly, should Bush get 50% of the vote in the Electoral College, he still
wins...since the republican House then chooses the winner.
If Bush gets 50% of the vote, he wins the election.

Clinton remains open for criticism until he gives up politics. Until then
he is fair game.

Get over it.

So, I guess, using that stupid analogy, that any living ex-president
is "fair game"? They still dabble in politics, you know. How often do
you hear liberals talking about Bush I's mistakes, or Reagan's? Not
NEARLY as much as the conservatives raking Clinton. Why? Because we
are concerned about what the CURRENT asshole in chief is doing to this
country. And, I think that deep down, you righties are worried about
him, too. So, to take the heat off of HIM, you resort to history.
Quite sad, actually.
