OT: To follow up on the idea that the will of the people as expressed in a national election should not be overturned I would like to compare the results of the '72 and '96 elections.

(http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/6228/elections.htm)

Nixon won by a larger percentage of the popular vote (60.7% v. 49.2% for Clinton), garnered almost as many votes (47,169,911 v. 47,401,185), carried more states (48 v. 32) and picked up more electoral college votes (520 v. 379).

If the outcome of the last national election is going to be used as an argument against investigating the President then there is only one conclusion that can be drawn. Tricky Dick wuz robbed.
