Well, the wink at the end of the first message was supposed to show I was
talking tongue-in-cheek about Clinton. A better tongue-in-cheek word would
have been 'tricked' or 'fooled' his way in. Something like that. Not that
he fooled the system, but that he fooled the people into voting for him
(and, of course, that's just my opinion <g>). He legitimately won the
voting process.
And I did not say Bush won fair and square. I merely pointed out the actual
end results of the popular vote aren't known. I mentioned the results of
the final voting results of Florida as a passing comment since I thought
most people didn't know about it. I imagine, we'll never know the results
of the popular votes unless we get rid of the electoral college. At that
point, every vote will be more likely to be counted.
