That Bush had the largest number of votes AGAINST him in US history also is
telling. His percentage margin of votes was lowest in history for an
incumbent.

Really? I could have sworn that his father's percentage was
lower, as were Carter's and Ford's. And probably numerous
others.

The definition below is from www.dictionary.com. See #3 for his meaning when
he said "lowest in history for an incumbent."
W's father, Carter and Ford, according to www.whitehouse.gov, only served
one term so none of them were incumbents. They may have moved up from being
Vice President to President but that doesn't put them in the same category.
Apparently their low percentage didn't hold up four years later.

I feel it incumbent on me to point out that this group is about jeeps not
politics.
There, I'm asking nicely.

Indeed, Fat Boy Billy Clinton won but 43% of the vote in '92, but the
Democrats would have us believe he won in a landslide. Had Perot not run,
Bush I would have been re-elected easily. Further, Draft-Dodger Billy didn't
even get 50% in '96. The Dem-O-Losers need to get over it, they lost.

Forget it, the tinfoil hat wearing leftist Kool Aid drinkers will try and
convince everyone the election was stolen...

Same with the aircooled VW group.
Wait, no! It's not about Jeeps! :P

For an incumbent reelected, Bush had the smallest percentage margin of
victory. In other words, he just barely squeaked a win.

No, we liberals will try to assure the rest of the world that only a bare
majority of voters were ignorant enough to choose Bush. A sizable minority
of us are not in the "Stupid Americans" camp. We oppose wars based on lies.
We oppose borrowing trillions and passing that debt onto future generations.
We oppose government pimping for the drug companies and the HMOs and the
Enrons.

....by 4 million votes!

Of couse, the same tinfoil hat wearing Kool Aid drinker will remind us of Al
Gore's 2000 landlside, by 500,000 (uncertified) votes. Apprently a
Republican vote counts only as a fraction of one cast for a Democrat.
