Subject: BS: Pre-Election Post-election thoughts
I was wondering about a set of circumstances that may very well happen- and how we ALL will react. After the election will be too late to get an honest answer, so I will ask now.

It seems a high probability that this will be a close election. What are those who feel presently that Bush is NOT the elected president, because he did not win the popular vote ( debateable point, but ...) going to say IF Bush does win the POPULAR vote, but loses in the Electorial College? Will it suddenly be that Kerry is not the elected president?


IMO, the results of the Electorial College are the determining factor- WHOEVER wins there IS the elected president, REGARDLESS of the popular vote.

Perhaps we could have a civil conversation on the possible wiewpoints about this topic?
