15. Apples and oranges
If Florida swings the other way, Gore WINS the Electoral College vote. The argument was that because the FL election was a complete mess, then perhaps it was valid to look at the next yardstick down, which was popular vote. If Bush had in fact been winning the Electoral College by 160+ then this Gore popular vote logic would have been completely moot.

There is no valid argument for turning over a legitimate and large Pledged Delegate vote count on the basis of popular vote, unless the rules are changed before the contest.

None.
