I'm getting a bit tired of hearing how historical this past election was since Bush got more votes than any other presidential candidate in US history.
Let's get this right, folks:
SO DID JOHN KERRY!!!
Kerry got 55,557,584 votes nationally which also exceeds any candidate in history. (Source: Info Please. 2004 results here.)
Yes, that's right. John Kerry got even more than Ronald Reagan in 1984. So y'all Republicans can get down off yer high horses and quit claiming some special mandate just 'cause Bush set a record. All it means is that more people voted this year.
51% to 48% ain't no damned mandate. Period.
