The fact is, Dubya won in '04 by the SMALLEST margin of any sitting president in history, not to mention the considerable

unprecedented "intervention" by the Supreme Court.

Dismissing Three Hundred plus MILLION people, is, IMO, simplistic and intellectually lazy.

Things are complicated, and we're not, in any case, the first or last nation to elect a few losers.
