<<Gore won the popular vote in the most populist states in the union, but only by a 200,000 share margin.>> A majority is a majority Ron.....I shant say that Bush "only" won Fla by 1700 votes so it isn't important .... <<More importantly, Bush won 29 states compared to 20 for Gore and that should be a greater issue>> Oh please these states are only separated by arbitrary boundaries and the states he won were smaller in population thus importance..... Having said the above I believe that the delegates should vote the way the election dictates.......You don't change the rules if the outcome doesn't suit you.
