AND this has been the largest voter turnout since 1968 and the population has increased, so what is the significance of it being historical?
For example, every year we say our sorority national conventions are the biggest in history. Well that is because our membership grows every year, so you would expect them to get bigger evey year. So being historical means nothing in that context.
And btw, Kerry got the second largest number of votes of any presidential candidate in our country's history.

well i guess its /historical/important depending on what candidate you're supporting. The fact that he received more votes than any other President in HISTORY is significant...but again..i guess if you didn't vote for him one could care less LOL
And yes you're right about Kerry..he got the SECOND largest number of votes.
I do however agree with whoever wins the popular vote should win. The electoral college is outdated....but maybe everyone should stop complaining about it..and DO something about it..myself included.. I think it will take a constitutional amendment..
