Yes, but your point is...?
I was merely pointing out that the notion that not that many were
supporting Bush because the elections may have been rigged is pretty
weak ground to stand on.

For a year or so. People here are notoriously amnesiac when it comes to
political issues.

It's a starting point. Then you have the bad decisions, bad presentation

It's often quite close to 50/50 (for the raw number of votes) even though
the media make it out to be a massive victory or loss for one side.
