And half of the country (+/-) think W is doing the WRONG things, and
doing them horribly.


Yes, of course, but once again, you've completely missed the point.
If
polls show he's got approximately half of the available support, he
simply
can't be said to be doing poorly


Absolutely absurd.

In a three-candidate race, 50% wins.

Not necessarily. I take it you are assuming that each one will at
least get some votes. As with assumptions, and particularly YOURS, you
could likely be wrong.

Wanna bet? If even *one* person votes for Nader (ie--one of those Palm
Beach idiots punches the wrong chad again), and Bush gets 50%, then he wins.

Man, how stupid ARE you, NOYB? That is nothing more, as I stated
above, than an assumption. Sure, I'll bet! As YOU said, *IF* one
person votes for Nader. How do you know that will happen? As I said,
you are wrong. Wrong because you are assuming that each candidate will
get SOME VOTES. Jeez, I hate repeating myself, but your answer is
exactly what I pointed out!!! If one person doesn't get any votes,
then, alas, 50% DOES NOT win the election. If you don't get it, I
can't make it any clearer, and you are utterly dumb.
