I think he got elected in 2000 by electoral votes. IMO - The electoral college is a good thing. It gives the smaller states a voice and assures that California doesn't decide who's president for New Hampshire, Rhode Island and so on. I could be wrong, but I think that's how Clinton beat Bush Sr. in 1992, by New Hampshires 3 Electoral Votes. Not only that, I don't agree with everything this administration does, but I shiver at what might have happened if Al Gore were president on 9/11/01.
In 2004, GWB was elected by winning the electoral college and the majority vote. In other words, most people, and most states thought it was the right thing to do.
The good thing for people that don't like GWB, is that they only have 3 more years to wait for change. The glory of America.

No, Clinton destroyed Bush Sr. in the '92 election. Wasn't even close.
You have to admit that the Florida results in 2000 are very, very controversial. Gore got more of the votes in the end even without the spoiled ballots that were meant for him. But the final recount was halted by a **********-nominee majority Supreme Court. Even before that Jeb was trying to make the initial Bush victory result stick while his own courts were fighting him.
I'm just stating the facts objectively here. I'm not saying that Gore would have made a great president, but there's no question that that election result was dodgy in the extreme.
