over themselves "explaining" the Bush popular vote size. "Single women voted unexpectedly for Bush", "the predicted high turnout of first time voters and students did not materialize" , "Hispanics failed to turn out as expected" , "'Values' were the determining factor and people wanted to protect their definition of marriage"

Those of us who worked on GOTV knew these statements were not true.

Then they stopped using those explanations and got into convoluted talk about EXIT POLLS -- discrediting them and totally confusing the issue.

Hundreds of thousands of votes could have been "borrowed" from the bigger Blue states without anyone noticing, all in order to produce the "Popular vote Mandate."

Too bad the Washington State recount of the governor's race did not also count votes at the top of the ticket. (That was the only REAL recount done.) It would have provided some actual evidence.
