Regardless of who won or lost, or how you feel about it, or if there was any shadiness going on, there is obviously a problem with our voting mechanisms as well as the electoral system in general. Third parties are given no chance to really have a voice. Campaigns are so busy telling you why the other guy sucks they forget to talk about why they are good. Whether you win or lose appears to depend on how much money you can raise.
Worst of all, most people aren't really happy with either candidate, and are really voting against the other one. Even though Bush got "the most votes ever", so did Kerry. And even though Bush got a little over half of the votes, that's hardly a mandate of the people, it's more a "eh...whatever" of the people. Almost as many people voted against Bush.
Heck, if Mr. Gates really wanted to he could buy his way into the presidency.
