What if Kerry Lost the Popular vote but won the electoral college?

[Endangered Specie]

How would you feel... especially those of us who argue that W is illigite bc he has half a mil fewer votes (of course, we all know that W lost the electoral college too).

Would be mighty ironic, wouldn't it?

THis election is liable to be just as close in 2000 and it most certainly could happen.

1. I would feel great

Payback is a bitch!

[Debi]

2. We'd assume that FLA got screwed up again...

and that Kerry REALLY did win the popular vote....

[arcos]

3. a popular vote lose, but an EC landslide...

that would be nice!

[RedEarth]

4. I'd feel wonderful...

I don't care how he wins as long as Kerry is in the White House.

[BJ]

5. He'd be president of the United States.

But of course we'd have to listen to endless whining from the right.

6. It wasn't the electoral college that was the theft

It was the theft of Florida. If Bush* had really won Florida, he won fair and square. But the voter rolls were purged of people of color, and the votes were never counted.

[TomSeaverr]

Bush won't win the Popular vote

forget that. Because Kerry will beat him bad in the most populous cities/States

[Paradise]

8. that's it exactly, wryter,

but some people just don't get it or just don't want to get it.

[WilliamPitt]

7. He'd be President

[Rowdyboy]

9. Supreme Court decision 5-4 rules

for Bush. Justice Thomas writes the opinion "In the absence of a clear winner, we must give precedence to the incumbent, for fear of weakening our national defenses in war-time"

[Ficus]

11. scary

ouch. I could see something cheesy like that happening too.

[Hippo_Tron]

13. Thomas should be impeached...

In the absence of a clear winner, the House of Representatives is supposed to decide.

[Ficus]

10. as long as all the votes are counted

I'm cool with how our Constitution sets things up.

[Hippo_Tron]

12. Chimp isn't illegit because he didn't win the popular vote...

He's illegit because Jebbie rigged Florida for him.
