The count isn't over yet. Still several million absentee ballots to be tabulated. These usually go Republican. Additionally, the rules weren't to get a popular vote majority, only the electoral college win. If the rules were different then Bush would have campaigned in NY and CA where he basically wrote off and spent very little time.

Barb--<<. Have you seen the national county by county map? It was a Bush landslide by that metric>> I am not concerned about land area as far as who won. I live outside a major population center and I still think we can elect a president with a majority vote of the population. That seems far better to me than the nation waiting for judges decisions over problems with a ballot in a tiny section of Florida. Our founding fathers also didn't allow for direct election of senators. As I recall it was done by the members of the House of the state. So we had Abraham Lincoln losing to Steven Douglas when he had won the popular vote. They made mistakes to my mind and were brilliant enough to realize they could and allowed for amendments.
