re: #253 laZardo

Wasn’t it the other way around? Obama purged those ghosts by winning both the popular and electoral college votes.

Bush won the election. The Supreme Court ruled that Gore could not go ahead with a selective recount which was ruled as unconstitutional. A subsequent unofficial recount conducted by a committee of journalists and academics found that Bush did indeed win the Florida poll.

Gore led by a slight margin in the national popular vote, but Bush won the Electoral College vote, which is how US elections are decided.

The “ghost” you mention is in fact a lie.
