You brought up Clinton to compare him to Bush. So, don't worm your way out of this by having to bring up other candidates to compare to Clinton. Anyways, even if Bush Sr got a bunch of electoral votes in 88, he was still decimated in 92.
To put it frankly, Bush's victory and apparent record amount of votes is overshadowed by the fact that it was slim in both the popular and electoral vote, not to mention that Kerry also got more votes than any victorious president before him, just like Bush did. If you want to add the 'other' percentages of the 2004 election, you'll find that Bush's lead will be even slimmer.
however, you don't count just the most populous votes in one election and then count ALL the votes in another election. That's being deceptive. However, what should I expect from a Republican, a Bush and Hannity lover?
