Remember in the week or so before the election, when some pundits believed that
Bush would win the popular vote and
Gore would win the electoral college? In response, a couple of the usual suspects put together articles praising the electoral college to the skies. When the election happened, and the reverse had in fact occurred, the articles (which hadn't gone to press) were pulled. I believe their existence was known through the online versions.
I'm sorry my recollection is so hazy on this. Maybe someone else on the threads recalls the specifics?
