Sjefsbitchen Ann Coulter har (for en gangs skyld) opptil flere gode poenger i sin siste spalte i Human Events. Beskyldningene om juks og konspirasjoner satt løst da Al Gore "vant" med et halvt prosentpoeng "by popular vote" i 2000, men likevel ikke ble president. De samme prinsippene gjelder tydeligvis ikke i kampen mellom Hillary og Obama…
-When Gore won the popular vote in the 2000 election by half a percentage point, but lost the Electoral College — or, for short, "the constitutionally prescribed method for choosing presidents" — anyone who denied the sacred importance of the popular vote was either an idiot or a dangerous partisan.
-But now Hillary has won the popular vote in a Democratic primary, while Obambi has won under the rules. In a spectacular turnabout, media commentators are heaping sarcasm on our plucky Hillary for imagining the "popular vote" has any relevance whatsoever.
-It’s the exact same situation as in 2000, with Hillary in the position of Gore and Obama in the position of Bush. The only difference is: Hillary has a much stronger argument than Gore ever did (and Hillary’s more of a man than Gore ever was).
