Listen, 271 electors have voted for GW. That is a historical fact that is not going to change, no matter how fervently we may believe that the process that led to that result may have been fundamentally flawed. On the other hand, it is and always will be a historical fact that more people actually voted for a Democratic President in each of the last three Presidential elections than voted for the Republican candidate, and nothing you folks say will change that, no matter how fervently you believe, or wish to believe, otherwise. Despite your apparent views to the contrary, the votes of women, Hispanics, Blacks and Asians count just as much as the votes of While males. And, just as we must accept that the electoral count, not the popular vote, decides who becomes President, you must accept that the popular vote result isn't going to change just because some map shows that Bush won a lot of vast unpopulated areas between California and the Mississippi river. That isnt how elections are decided, at least not since the requirement that voters be landowners was ended some time ago. Anyway, GW is President, the Republicans have effective control of the House, Senate and Supreme Court, and the ball is now in their court (so to speak). Any failings in the economy or other areda will squarely be on their shoulders, and again nothing you say will change that. Welcome to Washington Mr. Bush.
