17. They did it in 2000.

SOMEthing has to explain how bush got 48% of the vote. Issues weren't really that big of a deal that year. Pundits and polls said that millions just 'felt more comfortable personally with bush', or something to that effect. Of course, the media helped push this idea along; and they really will, this year.

No, WE can't see it. We are mostly ideologues, and despise bush and everything he stands for. But millions vote for prez, just as they voted for high school class officers: by popularity. Which is more LIKABLE? We might be surprised who they would pick, this year.
