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. So what are the odds that Nader won't vote for himself? How about the odds that some person somewhere won't accidently punch the wrong chad or the wrong computer key? I'd say the odds are about...zilch. If Bush garners 50% of the vote, he wins. Not if he loses in the electoral college, dummy. |
