Here's my voting history:
1992 - Clinton
1996 - Clinton
2000 - Gore (and H. Clinton for NY's U.S. Senator)
2004 - Bush
One thing is clear: I've voted for the popular vote winner in every election I voted in!
Interesting fact: Bush is more popular than Clinton ever was!
1992: Clinton got 43% of the popular vote (yes, it's true: 57% of Americans voted against Clinton).
1996: Clinton got 49% of the popular vote with 47.4 million votes.
2000: Gore got 48.4% of the popular vote (51 million) - Bush got 47.9% of the popular vote (50.5 million). Here, Bush was NOT more popular than Clinton.
2004: Bush got 51% of the popular vote with 58.8 million - an absolute majority (which Clinton never had) and over 10 million votes more than Clinton ever got.
Don't get me wrong - I loved Clinton; I just am noting for the record that Bush is more popular than Clinton ever was...
