Another way to look at today's Presidential Election results

#1 Post by TheCalvinator24 » Tue Nov 04, 2008 1:46 pm

No matter who wins, more people will have voted against the winner than in any other election in US History.

Not just trying to make a quick get-away before we're busted for serving alcohol to underage patrons, are you? :P

I am on record as asking the barkeep to check IDs. Now if someone slips him a little rum in his coke, it is not my responsibility.

:D

Of course, as usual, the ML will call complimentary taxis for anyone who may not be up to driving home. Some may be crying in a beer or two tonight. Which side? Only time will tell.

I think it was Pierre Salinger who said, "It's tough walking down the street knowing that 8 million people in your vicinity voted against you."
I am about 25% sure of this.

But will the loser receive more votes than the winner did last election?

The official number of votes Bush got in 2004 was 62,040,610... so that's what you'll be looking for.
