Al Gore received 48.39 percent of the vote.
George Bush received 47.88 percent of the vote.
George BUSH did not receive half of the whole fucking country, he did not even receive as many votes as the loser of the election. He did however win the electoral college.
I know they don't teach shit about Canadian government in U.S. schools but I thought the canadians were more enlightened. At least that is what I am told over and over and over and over. I would think that if the freedom and security of our country depended almost solely on our proximity to another country, we would learn how they elected their leaders..eh?
I guess I was mislead.. eh?

well 47.88 is close enough to half the country. And if he only had 2 percent he would not be leading right now. That's why I'm saying he was chosen by half of your country! Simple as that.
