Unclear On The Concept

From an AP article on Al Gore’s simultaneous Oscar/Presidential campaign:

Gore remains, for many party activists, the Democrat and popular vote-getter done wrong.

“He won the election in 2000 — he just lost the (electoral) count,” former Democratic National Committee Chairman Don Fowler said. “If I were he, I wouldn’t rule out a run. It’s an uncertain field, and he’s a person who is widely respected.”

Ummm, no…that’s not correct at all. You see, Mr. Fowler, our elections are decided by the very electoral count that you so casually dismiss. That’s like saying USC won the national title last year, they just scored less points than the Longhorns…
