"Bush lost his home country"

Huh? You ARE aware that the President is elected based on the electoral college, but each state is won based on raw vote count, correct?

If not, now you are.

If so, do you have a problem with that process?

Um, yeah, I'm quite familiar with the Electoral College. Bush won the Electoral College by a landslide. But if Gore "lost his home state" it could be also said that Bush lost his home country based on the vote tallies. And yes, I believe that the Electoral College is the best means of representation.

The Electoral College is a Constitutional construct, a genius invention of the founders.

This document is either ignored, selectively applied, or outright despised by the left.
