Quoted:
As a TX resident living overseas in 2000, I never even bothered to do an absentee ballot. I would have this year, though, knowing how much the libs were pocusing on the popular vote. I am not sure if the numbers this year support my theory, but I am guessing turnout of voters in many of the strongly red states was higher, just so people wouldn't have to here the "they lost the popular vote" crap again.

I think you are dead on, I knew GA was going Bush easy, but I made damn sure my vote adds another one to the popular vote, not that it really means anything legally, but after the fit the dems threw back in 2000 about the popular vote, I didn't want to give them any ammo this year.
ETA: As a matter of fact I think that thier fit throwing in 2000 just may have cost them this election, there were an awful lot of people who got off thier buts that probably wouldn't have, just so that the dems wouldn't get the chance to stir shit again.
