I suppose this a demonstration of someone confusing the word popular in popular vote with the high school meaning of 'popular'???
They are not the same thing. One is a tallying up of votes, to see who has more, the other is basically some repressive system based on fear of "being left out"
Formally the national popular vote has no value, but informally, it delegitimized bush from the start, and it does TOO matter by HOW MUCH you winning. Obama going above 51 percent TWICE is a big deal. Measured by American standards, it's a huge win, and we're not as divided as the losers make us out to be.
