| True that more Americans voted against a sitting president than |
|
any other time in history? (reading from the Howard Dean thread below).

| 2. but but but -- that's not what the media is telling me! |
|
Instead, they're telling me that George Bush got more votes than any president ever!
He must be really popular!

| 4. what I want to hear the media say |
|
is that Kerry also got more popular votes than the winner of any previous presidential election since at least 1950 (and probably ever, but I only looked at numbers for 1950 - 2004).

Both Kerry and Bush got more votes than any other candidate in history.
It's simple population growth statistics. The people at faux news need to breath the oxygen, its no big deal.
