Excuse Me? (none / 0)

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here, but I thought Shrub (Boo! Hiss!) got the smallest voting margin in history in 2000 or 2004.   Where am I wrong?

You're wrong in 2004 (2.00 / 2)

A number of presidents have had smaller voting margins.  JFK's vote margin was very small, much smaller than Bush's in 2004.

Bush actually lost the popular vote in 2000 by about 500,000 votes but three other presidents managed to win office that way, too.

Thanks! (none / 0)

Thanks, lombard.  I wasn't sure why I was off and it was driving me crazy.  Thanks for setting me straight.

You're wrong twice. Lombard corrected one error. (none / 0)

Your second error is in cluttering this diary with irrelevant posts, instead of attempting a serious answer.
