Talk:United States presidential election, 2000 (view source)
Revision as of 22:50, August 7, 2007
, 22:50, August 7, 2007→Plurality of popular vote
:: Eh? It's notable because it's unusual! It was deemed notable enough to say it on the 1992 page, when it didn't even happen. You're being paranoid. Either we include (correct) comments about the majority in all the recent elections or don't make them at all. I'm easy either way. But don't let's pick and choose - it's highly unscholarly.

:::Eh eh? The winner in 2000 had 500,000 votes cast aganist him than for him; the winner in 1992 had 16,000,000 ''more votes cast against him'' than for him. This '''fact''' perhaps needs to be pointed out. [[User:RobS|Rob Smith]] 18:12, 7 August 2007 (EDT)

::::I agree. And I know it IS there because I made sure myself. Oh... until RSchlafly took it out after I suggested we put the corresponding info into the 2000 article. I seems I have come up against a brick wall. [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 18:50, 7 August 2007 (EDT)
:: It is interesting to note that prior to the election, earlier projections pointed towards a possible Al Gore electoral win with George Bush winning the popular vote. When this was brought up to the Gore camp as to whether this would be right, the response was that of course it would be; it was the electoral college that mattered. It was only after Bush's win that the discrediting concept on needing to win the popular vote kicked in. [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 12:27, 7 August 2007 (EDT)
