is Hillary. He took almost 61 million votes, a million more than McCain and two million more than Kerry. (but 1 million less than Bush).

I find the election results of 2004 to be strange though.

Total voters by year (in millions)

1980 - 86.5
1984 - 92.7
1988 - 91.6
1992 - 104.4
1996 - 96.3
2000 - 105
2004 - 122
2008 - 131.5
2012 - 129

Turnout seems huge in 2004. Why were so many people, who seemingly did not vote in 2000, so motivated to re-elect Bush? A 16% increase in turnout. I don't get that.

...and still have a gazillion left over. He's supposedly an astute businessman. What kind of lying thieving corporate criminal spends that kind of money for a low-paying job (in his universe)? Paypack. That's all. Payback the myriad friends he's probably promised all sorts of shit too, under the pretense that his birthright guarantees him the highest office in the land. And make a few more gazillion in the process.

He can speak barely passable French. In French.

He has a one channel surround sound system.

He likes his coffee plain. And decaf.

Some of his close friends have owned NASCAR teams.

He has a binder full of women.

He is Mitt Romney- the least interesting man in the world!!!

Stay boring my friends.
