Originally posted by AppleOnYa: Thank you, Partagas...it's always nice being able to nail home the point that even though he won 2 terms, in NEITHER of those elections did Bill Clinton get 50% of the popular vote.
And he particularly wanted it in 1996.

True Clinton did not get 50% of the popular vote, but both times he easily won the popular vote. In 1996 he did get more votes than Dole & Nader put together and in 1992 Nader put in the best ever showing by a "third" candidate in terms of votes cast (over 19mill). Also as Republicans have been pointing out from Nov 2000 until today, it's not about who wins the popular vote.
