<<Say what you will about Gore, no Democrat has received more votes and no candidate has received more votes except Reagan in 1984.>>
Huh?! What?! Are we suppose to be impressed by someone's "vote total" while only getting 48% of the popular vote in 2000 and then try to compare it to Reagan's 59% in 1984 when the population was smaller?
48% if FAR from impressive. This guy couldn't even carry his own state, which voted Dem in 92 and 96 while Clinton was receiving only 43% and 49%. Not to mention that Gore only won 40% of the states and less than a majority in the electoral college.
Gore having the 2nd highest "total vote" count has more to do with the population having sex than anything having to do with Gore.
Gore also received 80 times more "total votes" than Andrew Jackson in 1828, but which one went on to serve two terms as president? (Hint: It wasn't Gore!)
