My view is that despite prevalent Dem vote fraud, the incalculable assistance of the lackeys in the media, a strong economy and the advantage of incumbency, Gore still lost. I think Bush's "weakness" as a candidate and "a lack of a mandate" are a bit overstated. And whether I agree with Tom or not was not my point (but you knew that already). JLA

<<So you agree with Tom's statement that winning the electoral count by one vote and losing the popular vote constitutes a landslide victory. >>

Bush got 271 electoral votes to Gore's 266, a margin of 5 votes.
